EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph is one of seventeen images from a collection compiled for Col Robin McNish's "Iron Division - The History of the 3rd Division," showcasing soldiers undergoing intensive training at the Cinque Ports Training Area in Hythe, Northern Ireland, in 1977. The 3rd Division, which has a rich history dating back to 1918, was at the forefront of pioneering air portability concepts in the late 1950s and 1960s, in response to the need for more rapid mobilization following the Suez Crisis of 1956. In this image, soldiers can be seen engaging in rigorous drills and exercises, reflecting the Division's commitment to readiness and preparedness. The training in Northern Ireland was an essential component of the 3rd Division's ongoing efforts to maintain its high level of capability and readiness. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and training regimen of the soldiers during this period, providing valuable insights into the history of the 3rd Division and its role in maintaining peace and security during a tumultuous time in Northern Ireland's history (1969-2007).
