Scratching my head here Trev....not sure where or which Tour 'cause if it's the 2nd one in '72 I got pulled out of the Company and sent to do a secret squirrel job under Maj Hamish McGregor (later Brig.).
Would that have been up the Clonard or would it have involved a Bulgarian? Myself and one other got tasked on the Bulgarian issue but were aware that some other people were involved.

I never did Forkhill - was at Newtownhamilton instead but never forget hearing that my Uncle Teds ex missus Mary turned up at the gates one day and asked to see Ted - not a happy Teddy by all accounts
