* WE are now getting desperate in finding more of our ex dog handlers as the date of our Dedication Ceremony nears, {24 days} please please help us!.

Army Dog Unit Northern Ireland.

THE RED PAW SEARCH CONTINUES .... 1973-2007 The Red Paw a tiny badge worn by dog handlers alongside their regimental badge when working as part of the ARMY DOG UNIT NORTHERN IRELAND. An Association was formed last October and has been an overwhelming success. The main objective was to fund a new memorial for their colleagues and dogs, killed in NI whilst working with the ADU NI, for this to be placed at a prominent public site. The funding was achieved during the first three months of 2009, solely from members' donations and friends, and the new memorial is to be unveiled at a ceremony on 1st August 2009 at the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, Staffordshire. We would desperately like to find more handlers before 1st August 09 so they too will have the opportunity to take part in the very final event of the ADU history.
