Recruiting appeal for Ulster Defence Regiment.

Full description

Opening sequences show a UDR OP in a corn field and men of the regiment on guard duty at a generating station - guarding essential services, and helping to ensure "the safety of the people". The regiment is fully trained to cooperate with the regular army - RAF Whirlwind drops UDR troops to assist Saladin and two Ferret Mk Is of 8th Brigade in roadblock operation. A worthwhile job with full army pay for every day served, plus a tax free bounty.
