My uncle, Lance Crpl Colin Clinton, 22 Cheshire regiment, was killed by the IRA before i was born. He had recently been promoted and was attending his celebration party at a pub in Northern Ireland. The IRA had planted explosives within the pub and he sadly perished in the inevitable collapse of the building. All i've been told by my mum, is that the landlord had received, and ignored, orders from the IRA not to entertain british soldiers in his pub. I know this is a long shot, but if anyone sees this and recognises his name, please get in touch.
Hi. We are very familiar with Clinton Collins and the other ten soldiers murdered at the Droppin Well. We visit all Cheshire Regiment soldiers killed in Ireland every year. If you go to our videos and look for Rides to the Fallen, there are a number of videos of those weekends, Clinton being one of them. You will also see Clinton's sisters Janice and Tracy. Hope that helps but please keep in touch and maybe attend during our visit to Clinton's grave this year.
@the22ndridersfundraisinggr54 thank you so much! It will be an honour to attend with you. Janice is in Australia at the moment, but i will make arrangements with her once she returns. Thanks again for reaching out. I look forward to meeting with you all soon.
@@MrDjvariety1 I keep in touch with Janice and if you follow our page, the dates of the events we arrange including the rides to the fallen are announced there. I will link our page below. Hope that helps. Tony Hayes facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067926601497
