[1] When Gerry Adams (the Sinn Féin president) was wounded in an assassination attempt by three members of the UFF it was an off duty full-time Non-commissioned officer of 10 UDR[2] who gave chase to their car and arrested them, assisted by an off duty policeman.

[3] This is not noted in Adams' Sinn Féin biography[4] and the BBC still insists the assailants were arrested by "plain clothes policemen".

In the long term however the soldier was intimidated out of his home and the UDR as a direct result of these arrests.

[6] A 1977 Army investigation involving D Company, 10 UDR, based at Girdwood Barracks in Belfast revealed that about 70 of the company's soldiers were suspected of links to the UVF, but evidence was only found against two, who were dismissed on security grounds.

This investigation was halted after a senior UDR officer claimed it was harming morale.
