| 26th Foot Regiment (Cameronians or Scottish Rifles were in Elizabeth Bks,there tour was cut short due to their antics down town,the Black Watch took over the barracks in 1964 and were there till 1969,there was a UN tour to Cyprus,during their period in Minden, but there was a rear party who looked after the Bks and the MQ,s |
