                                                          With a special hello to Old Comrades

(The Old Comrades march is played by the Volunteer Band of The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire regiment.)

     Very kind of you to call. The primary intent of this site is to display a few pictures and write accounts of adventures and incidents during my 25 years with the Special Investigation Branch of the Royal Military Police, the British army's small and elite investigative force. I try to keep to the facts without treading on too many toes although inevitably some small blemishes may arise due to passage of time and vagaries of long memory. If so, I apologise. Some - very few - names have been changed to protect the guilty. Anyhow - enjoy it.

Inside you will find:

                     Have a barrel of fun 

  • Snippets of SIB life

  • Criminal investigations

  • Rib-tickling anecdotes

  • Magic carpet to faraway places

  • Photos galore

  • Mind-rivetting stories

  • Miscellaneous trivia

  • Gamut of emotions

                                    Pay Heed

                             

                           

                     Enjoy a good sweat with the interesting new story on the Aden3 page

What does SIB stand for?
SIB stands for the ‘Special Investigation Branch’, the section of the RMP which specialises in the investigation of the more serious and complicated military criminal and non-criminal offences. The SIB is the equivalent of the Criminal Investigation Department within the civil Police forces.  Just like the CID, the SIB usually work in plain clothes and their role is to investigate and detect the more serious crimes committed against or by Army personnel and their families. That means gathering evidence to support the prosecution or defence of people who have broken civil and/or military laws.  The SIB also investigates serious non-criminal cases such as the leaking of confidential information.

For a few additional details of the author please take a trip on this rocket . . . .

In 1856, the government made a law that every county, as well as the towns, must provide a police force. Inspectors of Constabulary were appointed to make sure that these police forces were doing their job properly. If they were, the government gave them a grant of money to help run their force. The Inspectors also looked
at the town forces.
