A book about the history of the Ayrshire Yeomanry Squadron has been launched.
Written by William Purdie, ‘Never Better Served’ covers 60 years of history and all the changes which have taken place since the unit was disbanded and became a squadron.
The book is dedicated to the memory of Sergeant David Smith, who was killed in Germany in 1982, and Staff Sergeant Jock McKelvie of Drongan, who died while serving earlier this year.
William said: “It has been a great privilege to work with serving soldiers of the Ayrshire squadron and the old comrades while writing this history.
“I’ve met some amazing people and heard some wonderful and amusing stories of what the squadron got up to.”
