WHAT DOES ULSTER DEFENCE REGIMENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ulster Defence Regiment

The Ulster Defence Regiment was an infantry regiment of the British Army which began duties in 1970. Raised through public appeal, newspaper and television advertisements, most of their membership came from the disbanded Ulster Special Constabulary. Their official role was the "defence of life or property in Northern Ireland against armed attack or sabotage" but unlike troops from Great Britain they were never used for "crowd control or riot duties in cities". It was the largest infantry regiment in the British Army, formed with seven battalions plus another four added within two years. It consisted mostly of part-time volunteers until 1976 when a full-time cadre was added. Recruiting in Northern Ireland at a time of intercommunal strife, it was accused of sectarianism and collusion with Ulster loyalist paramilitary organisations. The regiment was intended to be nonpartisan, and began with Catholic recruits accounting for 18% of its soldiers; however due to various circumstances, by the end of 1972, this dropped to around 3%.
