| The front cover of the first edition of 'The Irish Ranger'. |
The Regimental newspaper 'The Irish Ranger' was first produced at the Depot in St Patrick's Barracks Ballymena on 1 October 1972 and was edited by Major J O Cave, the Divisional Recruiting Officer.
'I turned over one poor chap on a rocky, bloody crag on Tanngoucha. He was facing the right way, the last round of a clip in the breech and three dead Germans in front of him. His name was Duff. After all is over - and the remainder of the Empire is understandably irritated with Ireland - I hope these countless Duffs, from both the North and the South, and in all three services, will be remembered.
(Brigadier Nelson Russell, Commander 38 (Irish) Brigade, 1942-44)
