Can you imagine being sent away from home at the age of eight to
join the British Army? Neithercould an ordinary little boy from
Dublin
(http://www.irishcentral.com/culture/travel/-top-10-tourist-attractions-in-dublin-40902362-237774161.html)
whose career path had already been pavedbefore hed celebrated his
ninth birthday.
Joseph Paddy Rochford was born in 1912 to a poor Irish family
who lived in the village ofChapelizod on the outskirts of Dublin.
While his father was away fighting with the British Army onthe
French battlefields, his mother was left to bring up her family
alone, living in fear that if theGermans didnt kill her husband,
Sinn Fin would. Irish freedom fighters were rising up against
theBritish forces that occupied the land, and anybody caught siding
with the enemy became a markedman.

Barefoot but happy, young Paddy could barely comprehended what
the troubles were all about andspent his carefree days in the
luscious Phoenix Park, daydreaming that one day he too wouldbecome
a soldier.
That day came sooner than Paddy could have imagined when his
father, Joseph senior, returnedfrom the Great War and,
disillusioned by Irelands prospects, sent his eight-year-old son to
theRoyal Hibernian Military School, a bleak institution that
prepared young boys for careers in theBritish Army
(http://www.irishcentral.com/news/politics/Irish-to-lay-a-wreath-at-Londons-Cenotaph-on-Remembrance-Day-for-the-first-time.html).
Behind the cold, stone walls of the boarding school, Paddy was
shielded from the poverty andviolence that plagued the streets.
Homesick and bullied by the other boys, he did his best to
knuckledown to his studies until 1922, when his life took an
unexpected turn. Following the formation of theIrish Free State,
the British Army was forced to evacuate the country. As the school
was underBritish control, the boys of the Hib were sent hundreds of
miles away to continue their militaryeducation at Dover, in the
south of England, hardly ever seeing their parents again.

It was a cold, rainy day in 1927 when a steam train pulled in to
Aldershot Station and a smart, 15-year-old soldier stepped out.
Having completed his studies, Paddy was ready to begin his career
asa drummer in the Third Battalion of the Coldstream Guards.
Kitted out in his black bearskin and scarlet tunic, his first
official duty was to guard the royal family atthe historic Windsor
Castle. He learned all the secrets of this great bastion, including
legendarystatues in the garden that came to life during the dead of
night; the restless spirits that made theirhome on the shadowy East
Terrace, and the time when a sentinel heard Big Ben strike 13
oclockall the way from London.

All too soon it was time to leave this picturesque town to
travel to the capital city, where Paddy andhis comrades guarded
Buckingham Palace, the Bank of England, and the dark Tower of
London.
Though they called them the Roaring Twenties, industrial strife
was beginning to take hold acrossEngland, dragging the country down
into a state of depression; and by the 1930s everything beganto
change. Adolf Hitlers Nazi Party was gaining power in Germany, so
thousands of Jewish familiesbegan fleeing Europe, headed for the
Holy Land. This mass immigration caused friction with theArab
population, and the responsibility of keeping the peace fell to the
Coldstream Guards.

Armed and prepared for combat, Paddy and his men were thrown
into a ferocious battle to defendthe holy city of Jerusalem from a
riotous mob. Consequently, every town and village in Palestinehad
to be searched for weapons and rebels, who the Guards rounded up
and brought to makeshiftprison camps.
Paddy and his company were sent to Jericho, to scour the winding
catacombs beneath the hillsidecaverns. Nothing was found, save for
a collection of stone jars filled with what appeared to beyellowing
parchment. Unsure of what these ancient relics were, Paddys
commanding officerinstructed the men to leave them as they were,
only for the same scriptures to be discovered by ashepherd boy
three decades later, becoming known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Hundreds of miles away, trouble was brewing in Egypt as the
public began rising up against theBritish, whod held dominion over
their land since the 1880s. Younger officers of the Egyptian
Army,disheartened by the state of their country, were whispering in
the ears of the impressionablebarefoot natives, inciting them to
cause mayhem on the streets. Once again it was down to theGuards to
defuse the situation.
In 1939 the world changed forever: Britain declared war on
Germany. Instead of returning toEngland, the Third Battalion was
sent far across the Western Desert to defend the frontier of
Egyptat all costs. The ill-equipped troops had to learn how to
survive in the arid wilderness as the well-trained Italian Army
advanced ever closer towards their position.
It wasnt long before Mussolini called for Germany to send
reinforcements. Upon Hitlers personalcommand, a new expeditionary
unit, known as the Afrika Korps, was formed. This was an
elitefighting force under the leadership of the decorated Field
Marshal Rommel, so cunning and devioushe became known as the Desert
Fox, hell-bent on sniffing out every single Tommy in the
WesternDesert.
Paddy, now a sergeant, found himself leading his men into the
heat of battle. The sounds of shellsand mortar bombs grew ever
closer, and as ammunition whizzed overhead, Paddy placed his life
onthe line in order to bury one of his fallen comrades. After
marking the sandy grave with an emptypetrol barrel and taking down
the co-ordinates to send on to the Commonwealth War
GravesCommission, he ordered his troops to withdraw.

During the ensuing mayhem, the young sergeant was run over by
one of his own armored trucks.He heard his ribs crack as his body
was crushed into the sand. Seriously injured and fearing for
hislife, he was rushed through the desert in the back of a rickety
ambulance alongside other woundedcomrades. Paddy was the only
survivor when he arrived at Tobruk Hospital, from where he
wastransported by sea to a military hospital in Alexandria.
Time passed by slowly while he made his recovery, each day
growing hungrier for news of hisbattalion. Then, one grey morning,
he learned that theyd gone down fighting the Desert Fox at
ElAlamein, almost to the last man. His own future suddenly looked
uncertain, until he was visited by aman from the British Military
Mission in Cairo and offered a new career. He was to train
theEgyptian Army at an institution known as the Small Arms Training
School.
Being a smart and disciplined soldier, Paddy was appalled at the
sight that greeted him when hearrived to begin his first day as
military adviser. The building was ramshackle; the uniforms
wereshabby, and the lax attitude demonstrated by the Egyptians was
enough to make a Guardsman sinkinto a pit of despair. He later
discovered that the school received little funding from the
government.King Farouk had his own Royal Bodyguard to pay for, and
so long as they were well equipped, whatdid it matter about the
rest of the army?

Determined to make a go of it, Paddy threw himself into his
work. In no time at all hed turned thefailing school around. He
built shooting ranges; rewrote the syllabus, and sourced all the
modernweapons of warfare for his students. His dedication impressed
high-ranking Egyptian officials,including the king himself, who
invited Paddy to a lavish cocktail party at Abdin Palace.
The humble young mans circle of influential friends began to
increase, and one day he wasintroduced to a popular lieutenant
colonel in the Egyptian Army. Gamal Abdel Nasser was adistinguished
and highly regarded officer whod quickly worked his way up the
ranks and coveredhimself in glory on the battlefield.
As the months rolled by, Paddy and Nasser developed a strong
bond of friendship, and Paddylearned that his shy and unassuming
companion was the keeper of a dark secret: he was aprominent figure
in an underground movement that was furtively plotting to overthrow
the king andthe government, before booting the British occupiers
out of Egypt forever.
Privy to top-secret information, Paddy tried on several
occasions to warn the authorities of the plansthat the
revolutionary Egyptians had hatched, but his concerns were met with
doubt and suspicion.The Second World War was over by now, and
nobody wanted to believe more trouble was on theway. Besides,
Nasser was from a working-class background, and as such was
considered of littleconsequence, and certainly no threat to the
mighty Britannia.

In spite of this, Paddy spent some of his happiest years at the
Small Arms Training School. Heenjoyed his job, and when the working
day was done, hed travel into Cairo to sample the vibrantnightlife.
The capital city was overrun with allied troops enjoying leave,
seeking to forget theirtroubles. Drunken brawls were commonplace;
prostitution was a roaring trade, and Cairo becamethe land of the
quick fingered, where a local vagabond would have the contents of a
soldierspockets out in a thrice, then disappear down a grimy back
alley without a trace.
But Paddy had other things on his mind, for it was in Cairo
where he met the love of his life. MarjorieRagsdell was a beautiful
young English girl who was serving with the Womens Auxiliary Air
Force.Shed recently arrived in Egypt fresh from a tiny farming
village. Her brothers were too young tofight, so shed bravely
volunteered to enlist in their stead, determined to make her
war-veteranfather proud.

Paddy was hit by Cupids arrow, and on 27th April 1946 his
blushing bride arrived at HeliopolisBasilica, with flowers, picked
from King Farouks garden, adorning her hair. Following a
Catholicceremony, the newlyweds headed off to spend their
month-long honeymoon by the MediterraneanSea.
The couples brief spell of peace was shattered when anti-British
factions began stirring up trouble.Murder had returned to the
streets of Cairo, and the sands of time were fast running out for
Egyptsgluttonous king. Hed already caused the first crack to appear
in his throne by giving in to Britainsdemands in 1942, when
Churchill ordered King Farouk to sack his pro-German prime
minister, orelse. The second crack came when he divorced his
beautiful Queen Farida, who the Egyptianpublic adored as a
Hollywood starlet; and the third crack, which threatened to shatter
the royal seatcompletely, emerged when he fell out of favor with
the younger officers in his army, who felt the kingwas offering
them few prospects.
With the monarchy in disrepute, Colonel Nassers Free Officers
were beginning to fancy theirchances. Grenades were thrown into
public places; soldiers were stabbed to death, and rivers
wererunning thick with bodies.
The American administration troops were quickly pulling out of
Cairo, for it had become toodangerous to stay; and by Christmas
1946 the British were following suit. They withdrew theirtroops and
resources 80 miles away to the Suez Canal Zone. Paddy was promoted
to regimentalsergeant major and transferred to Moascar, the last
garrison of the British Army in Egypt.
The Egyptians, however, were still not satisfied with these
arrangements, and began cutting offfood, petrol and water supplies
from the larger towns. Egyptian employees were bribed to stop
Paddy and Marjorie on their wedding day

working for the British forces, and terrorists from Cairo came
up to Moascar to sneak around thearmy camps, murdering every
British man, woman or child they came across.
The violence peaked on 26th January 1952. This was a day so
brutal it became known as BlackSaturday. Organised squads patrolled
the streets of the capital city, setting alight hundreds
ofbuildings and butchering every non-Egyptian they encountered.
Even the police kept their distance,too afraid to intervene.
On the Canal Zone, British troops waited with bated breath for
the command to march back toCairo, but it never came. This lack of
British intervention confirmed to the rebels that Britain was
aspent force, effectively giving the green light to the Free
Officers. Nasser knew his time had come.
On 23rd July, Nasser and his closest aides staged their military
coup, which became known tohistory as the Egyptian Revolution of
1952. Having taken control of Abbassia Barracks, Nassercalled for
the abdication and immediate exile of King Farouk. Full of fury,
Egypts last monarchpacked his 273 suitcases and set sail on his
royal yacht, destined to spend his remaining years inItaly.
Egypt became a republic, and Nasser, who went on to rule as
president, demanded the evacuationof the British troops from the
whole of his country within 12 months.
Back in London, Paddy found it difficult to adjust to a humdrum
life after so much adventure, so heretired from the army and moved
his young family to the Yorkshire city of Leeds, in the north
ofEngland, where he settled into civilian life and became the
superintendent of a social housingestate.

As post-industrial Leeds developed in the 1960s and 70s, local
traffic increased and the main roadnear Paddys home became an
accident black spot. Fearing for the safety of his residents,
andrecalling his own near-fatal accident in the desert so long ago,
he spent his remaining years callingfor the installation of a
pedestrian crossing over this mad mile.
Sadly, he didn't live to see his efforts bear fruit. After
Paddys death in 1977, the council caved in topublic demand. Paddys
grateful tenants erected a monument at the side of the road
adjacent to thenewly-established crossing. During an official
opening ceremony, complete with a Catholic blessing,it was named
Paddys Crossing" in honor of the brave Irishman who devoted his
entire life to thesafety of others.
