A memorial rather than an ordinary clockThe SAS clock tower at Stirling Lines is primarily a regimental memorial, not simply a timepiece. Bradbury Lines later became known as Stirling Lines in honour of Lieutenant Colonel David Stirling, the founder of the SAS. How it was fundedRegimental tradition holds that the clock tower was funded partly by contributions from SAS personnel, with members donating a day’s pay. The move to CredenhillWhen the SAS left its former Hereford headquarters, the clock tower moved with it. The SAS Regimental Association identifies the Hereford clock tower as one of the regiment’s principal memorials in the United Kingdom.
