Culture Club: 'The history of the 11th Battalion, Ulster Defence Regiment’, by Richard Edgar

The first event in our Lisburn Museum Culture Club programme for autumn/winter 2025 …

The Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) was a locally recruited British Army regiment in Northern Ireland from 1970 to 1992, tasked with internal security duties during ‘The Troubles’. Lisburn was the headquarters of the regiment and raised a company for the 11th Battalion. At its peak, the UDR was the British Army’s largest infantry unit.

Richard Edgar is a local historian.

Note that this event replaces ‘History of ancient Ulster until the Plantation’, by Rab Williamson. We hope to reschedule it for another time. Apologies for any inconvenience.
