I've pieced this page together from various sources, a lot of it taken from the Kingsmill massacre article. However it still needs work. We need to know some facts like;

  • When the unit was established
  • What were its constituent units
  • What was its command structure
  • What was its equipment
  • What was its duties/policing role
  • Who disbanded it and why

[edit] NPOV tag

Without the info above the article is really unbalanced as it focuses on the bad elements, also no background Weggie 14:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remove NPOV tag

In the absence of detail, and due to the fact that time has elapsed without any attempt to rectify the alleged bias, this is simply 'drive by tagging' and should be removed. I will add further information to the page - that is contained in the Barron Report on 'The Bombing of Key's Tavern'.
