“Moygashel remembers the Ulster Defence Regiment. 1970-1992.” The Ulster Special Constabulary or B-Specials existed from 1920 to 1970; it was disbanded after being used for riot control in The Battle Of The Bogside. The Ulster Defence Regiment, which was under military control and was the largest infantry in the British Army, existed from 1970 until 1992, when it was merged with the Royal Irish Rangers.
“In recognition of the bravery and sacrifice of all who served.” The Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (WP) was awarded to the entire RIR and UDR in 2006 (Royal Irish).
Main Road, Moygashel, replacing the UVF boards (Time To Decide and We Continue The Fight) and next to the UDR roll of honour seen in How Real Men Take A Knee.
