Tony Ball was a personal friend of mine. We were very close. We underwent the SAS selection course together and served together in D Squadron. I have not read the book referred to and have no intention of reading it. I would though take issue with the authors’ description of Tony. I just do not recognise the description, other than the nail biting. He was a good caring person. He will always be in my thoughts. I came across this webpage my accident.

Voss | Copperhill Media Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:31:03 +0000 http://www.frogenyozurt.com/?p=287#comment-14 [...] During the research for my book “The Bleeding Hills” I stumbled upon the intriguing story of one charismatic character, British Captain Robert Nairac, an undercover agent active during the Irish troubles (For more references see the hyperlinks at the end of this article). While Irish republicans consider him a butcher, and the British Army calls him a war hero, they all share the view that “he was strange” – to use a mild expression. First of all, after studying various articles on the life and death of Robert Nairac, I have come to the conclusion that Nairac was driven by a death wish, a point that may not be disputed by many of those who knew him. My next conclusion may be, however, far more controversial. After applying a simple method of studying behavioral patterns and comparing it to recent as well as historical cases, I have come to the personal conclusion that Captain Robert Nairac was either gay and/or the victim of sexual abuse during his childhood.

Let me clarify a few things: My research on Robert Nairac was very meticulous, and it is not based on tenuous links. My article on this blog represents only a synopsis of my findings. Any remarks regarding Julian 'Tony' Bell were not made by me. I merely quoted from an article that was written about Robert Nairac. If you read my article carefully, you will find that I don't "accuse" anybody of being gay. Also, I doubt that Robert Nairac, provided he was gay, was able to reveal his sexual orientation considering the times and the environment he lived in. Everybody agrees that Robert Nairac was a charismatic character attached with a death wish, and I was merely trying to find an explanation for his violent and self-destructive behavior. Another reason could have been sexual abuse at Ampleforth College. If you can contribute any information that contradict my findings, I am more than willing to change my mind. Sincerely, Wilfried Dear Natalie,

You seem to have a cavalier approach to researching for your book and make extremely tenuous links. I can state quite catagorically that Julian 'Tony' Ball was not psychotic and did not take drugs. Though he did bite his nails, this is a family trait. Robert came from a very loving middle-class family who would be mortified to read you diatribe. He was not gay and if he was he would have been able to face it in the same way as he faced his life and death, with style and dignity. Natalie Wilfreid
