From 1978 to 2001, a battalion of Irish troops was deployed in southern Lebanon, as part of the UN mandate force UNIFIL. The Irish battalion consisted of 580 personnel which were rotated every six months, plus almost 100 others in UNIFIL headquarters and the Force Mobile Reserve. In all, 30,000 Irish soldiers served in Lebanon over 23 years.
The Irish troops in Lebanon were initially intended to supervise the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces from the area after an invasion in 1978 and to prevent fighting between the Palestine Liberation Organisation forces and Israel.
In April 1980, three Irish soldiers were killed in an episode of violence near At Tiri in Southern Lebanon. On 16 April 1980, soldiers attempting to set up a checkpoint near At Tiri were attacked by members of the South Lebanon Army (an Israeli-backed Christian militia). Private Stephen Griffin, of the 46th Irish Battalion was shot in the head and died. Two days later, a party of three Irish soldiers, an American officer, a French officer and two journalists were travelling to a UN post near the Israeli border when they were intercepted by members of the S.L.A.. Private John O'Mahony from Killarney, County Kerry was shot and wounded and his two comrades Privates Thomas Barrett from Cork and Derek Smallhorne from Dublin were driven away. Both men were found shot dead nearby, with their bodies showing signs of torture.
Another Israeli invasion in 1982 forced the PLO out of southern Lebanon, and occupied the area. The following eighteen years until 2000 saw prolonged guerrilla warfare between Israeli forces, their allies in the South Lebanon Army and Hezbollah. UNIFIL was caught in the middle of this conflict. The Irish battalion's role consisted of manning checkpoints and observations posts and mounting patrols. A total of 47 soldiers were killed . In addition to peacekeeping, the Irish provided humanitarian aid to the local population - for example aiding the orphanage at Tibnin. From 25 April 1995 to 9 May 1996, Brigadier General P. Redmond served as Deputy Force Commander of UNIFIL during a period that coincided with the Israeli Operation Grapes of Wrath offensive in 1996.
Most Irish troops were withdrawn from Lebanon in 2001, following the Israeli evacuation of their forces the previous year. However 11 Irish troops remained there as observers. They were present during the 2006 Lebanon War. After this conflict, UNIFIL was reinforced and a mechanised infantry company of 165 Irish troops was deployed to southern Lebanon. Their role was to provide perimeter protection for a Finnish Army engineering unit. After 12 months, the 1st Finnish/Irish Battalion ceased operations and was stood down from duty after having completed its mandate with UNIFIL. A number of Irish personnel remained in service at UNIFIL HQ in Southern Lebanon. ]
Irish battalions returned to Lebanon in 2011 - initially with roughly 480 troops deployed in the region. This was reduced to approximately 330 troops in May 2013,and further to 180 troops in November 2013.

This photo appeared in the 14 July, 1934 edition of The Sphere as part of an article, "Rorke's Drift Commemorated".
"This picture... shows the officers of the 24th Regiment of Foot (now the South Wales Borderers) when they were stationed near Secunderabad, India, in 1873. Six years later the regiment was in Africa and took part in the Zulu war. Many of the men shown here must have fought in the disastrous battle of Isandhlwana, and one of them, Lieutenant Bromhead, received the V.C.for his heroic defence of Rorke's Drift."
Bromhead is sitting second from the left in the second row from the front.

There's no information on the back of this rppc, but I'm a big fan of the pikelhaube and such a clear picture is always nice. I'm not well-versed enough in uniforms to tell what sort of unit it is and I'm equally clueless about what that checkerboard-like thing on the right (our right) is, but I like it.
It must have been brought home or, maybe sent home in an envelope by the man with the X over his head. It's too bad that the X wasn't accompanied by a name. I can't quite place a year on it either. Maybe someone with a better knowledge of uniforms can narrow it down a little. The ranks of the soldiers would be nice to know too if anyone can tell.

Steven Smith, a fire protection specialist assigned to the 180th Fighter Wing, carries a fire hose near a controlled burn during a flight-wide training exercise at the 180FW in Swanton, Ohio, May 08, 2023. The exercise consisted of firefighters attempting to extinguish controlled fires in a variety of scenarios they may experience. Training for diverse, real-world scenarios ensures Airmen are fully trained, qualified, prepared and ready to deploy worldwide, at all times.

After his death in 1805 the house went into gradual decline. It was used variously as a school, a refuge for Benedictine monks, and a billet for troops in the two world wars. In 1943 a German land mine fell nearby causing extensive damage. It was rescued from demolition in the 1950s and is now under the guardianship of English Heritage.

About 3,500 serving soldiers from the British troops have been called up at the last moment as replacement security staff for the LONDON 2012.
Initially G4S Secure Solutions (UK) has been appointed official Security Services Provider for the London Games in March 2011. Due to a shortage of adequately trained G4S security staff, the UK Govt announced that 3,500 British troops would be deployed with up to 2,000 more if needed only on July 12 2012, just 15 days before the Games.
G4S plc (formerly Group 4 Securicor) is a British multinational security services company, is the world's largest security company measured by revenues and has operations in more than 125 countries with over 657,000 employees.
Olympics staffing episode, a "humiliating shambles", wiped off £700 million worth of share value from beleaguered security firm G4S.
