A well documented Northern Ireland campaign group of three awarded to Platoon Sergeant M. E. L. Hamilton, Ulster Defence Regiment and Royal Irish Regiment, who enlisted in the U.D.R in October 1973 among the very first group of women to be fully integrated into the infantry of the British Army and went on to complete 20 years of service during the ‘Troubles’. General Service 1962-2007, 1 clasp, Northern Ireland (F/448167 Sgt M E L Hamilton UDR); Accumulated Campaign Service Medal 1994, E.II.R., with Additional Award Bar (FO448167 Sgt M E L Hamilton UDR); Ulster Defence Regiment Medal, E.II.R. (F448167 Sgt M E L Hamilton UDR) court mounted together with brooch bar for wearing, nearly extremely fine (3) £600-£800 --- M. E. L. Hamilton was born in 1949 and enlisted in the Ulster Defence Regiment as a part-time member on 22 October 1973, less than 3 months after Royal Assent had been given to the U.D.R. Bill (allowing women to enlist) - a development that the Army quartermaster’s stores were not fully prepared for: ‘Unfortunately our uniforms were not available, so we trained in ‘civvies’. When we eventually received a uniform it consisted of ATS skirts (surplus WW2), dark green jumper, green beret, tie, cravat in battalion colour, black gloves, blacked laced shoes, khaki shirt and black knee length boots for winter and a jacket. We did not have our own flakjackets and had to wear men’s. It was a rush to get to the stores to get the smaller flakjackets when going out on duty. You can imagine how uncomfortable they were. Years later we were issued with lightweight denim trousers, puttees and boots.’ (Recipient’s notes.) The Ulster Defence Regiment was the first infantry regiment in the British Army to fully integrate women into its structure. At its height there were 11 battalions in Northern Ireland. Known as Greenfinches, they were the vanguard for women today to integrate into all the military forces in the United Kingdom. Hamilton served with the 10th (City of Belfast) Battalion, U.D.R., based at Abbotscroft, Newtownabbey from 1973 until 1984 in Greenfinch platoon, receiving her Accumulated Campaign Service Medal on 31 January 1981 and attaining the rank of F/Sgt. in 1978. She was then posted Platoon Sergeant, Greenfinch Platoon, 7/10th (City of Belfast) Battalion at Girdwood Park, receiving the 1st Clasp to her ACSM on 30 April 1984. In 1989 she was posted again with the 7/10th to Malone HQ, Belfast where she served as Platoon Sergeant, Part Time Signals Platoon until 1992. She joined the newly formed Royal Irish Regiment on 1 July 1992, on its creation following the merger of the U.D.R. and the Royal Irish Rangers. Serving until discharged on 21 October 1993 on completion of her engagement, Hamilton completed exactly 20 years of service.
