Caithness Men All Home From Basra Safely
Captain
Kevin Mackay sends his thanks to all the Caithness folk who have supported
them over the past seven month on their tour of duty in Basra, Iraq.
The photo shows the men a few days before they left Basra to return to
Scotland. This photo was only the second time they had been together
in the seven month tour of duty with Alamein Company. Great to see
them all back with their families.

Caithness Men Head For Iraq
Caithness member sof the TA joined Alemein company having
received training on Op Telic 9
We are always looking to recruit and I would hope that this
would entice some young keen people to join our local TA unit. Many people
are under the impression that its infantry men the TA deal with but there
is a wide variety of job and training for females as well as males. Anyone
with any questions or interest can come along to the TA hall in Wick on
Tuesday night between 7.30 and 9.30pm.

The TA Pages Begin
Welcome to the TA pages of Caithness.org where we
will be adding many pictures of the men and women who are part time
soldiers in Caithness. There is a long association of Caithness with
the army and they have been involved in many campaigns. Some
of the TA personnel from Caithness have been serving in Iraq.
In the section photographs both past and present will be added in coming
months. The TA makes up to a quarter of the British Army.
The aim of these pages is to show how
Caithness folk spend their time in the TA. If you are interested in
finding out more about the TA in Caithness get in touch with the office in
Dempster Street, Wick or alternatively check the
Territorial Army
web site.
