Sorry John, not an "Irish sounding" Kelly. Though his name has much to do with the country in which General Walker commanded the 36th. :wink: The facility (as far as I have found out) is not an active military installation as such. More on the line of "after the battle help and retire...

He had something in common with the previous sergeant posted by John.
This building/center bears his name:

Much bigger peninsula Paul! :wink: As my maternal grandfather would have said: Shutupa ya face, whatsa matter you eh, gotta no respect...?! :D :D :D (Oh my, how he hated that song and God help me if I had called Italy a peninsula although technically it is).

Well Paulus, I would blame the English for the name trouble, weaponry and tactics :wink: And we have a winner. Pak penetrated my riddle armor! Yes the RAF Levies (Iraq) is the force in question (some prefer the name "Assyrian RAF Levies"). I actually named them pretty early in the riddle a...

Can't say I don't enjoy loosing you... both! :D I might have confused you with the para-stuff, so here's the "Aussie-ish" part as the crossed Kukris was not quite correct. The force, probably due to or in honour of an Australian WWI captain (later Lieutenant General) more commonly wore thi...

Ah! Phylo again... :up: :D As far as I know the berets are red for the parachute units of the force. Crossed Kukris are not correct but close... not Singapore and much more than police. The airborne unit(s) was a small part of this force. The infantry was much larger. Cavalry, artillery, was also an...

Nothing since the possible "RCAF AOP & SAS" corps.
So, does that mean you all want some more clues... (or is it just Phylo!)?

Hint 1: Two are wearing something "Ghurka-ish".
Hint 2: They often wore something "Aussie-ish".

Hmmm...
Sorry, not one of the twelve (AOP) Squadrons.
Yes, artillery was also a part of the force.
Yes, performed vital duties in a wide array of missions in many theatres.
Not RCAF, more like RAFL (I)!

The uniforms of the two with berets should actually be navy blue...
