sweeney,
Re Tex Banwell.
I have spoken to a man who was in the terrirorials with Tex in the early 50s. His regular army service was over by then.

"So why did he wear a Northern Ireland bar on his GSM ????
Did they just give it to him ?"
Completely false

Re your post 04.52 on 24th

"He was in the North of Ireland in the early seventies."
Completely false.

Your descents into dishonesty devalue your cause Sweeney.

You call Banwell a tosser, so you consider yourself a better man.
This is what the
New York Times said about Tex.
Make your own judgement.
