Two IRA volunteers, Dan Allman and Jimmy Baily, were killed in the ambush. One civilian was killed outright and two mortally wounded, with two others (a father and daughter) seriously wounded in the legs. Moreover, in the immediate aftermath of the ambush, Tom MacEllistrim executed a suspected spy whom his men had been holding..The British official report stated that one officer (Adams) and seven soldiers were killed and twelve wounded. The British Cabinet was told that two of the wounded later died of their wounds. The IRA thought the British had concealed the real death toll, which they believed was up to twenty-five British troops killed... Quote:

I reluctantly served in NI back in the day.
Down the line some of the brigade commanders who were out to get us then are government minister types over there now. Go figure.

The Corps of Royal Engineers, usually just called the Royal Engineers (RE), and commonly known as the Sappers, is one of the corps of the British Army. It is highly regarded throughout the military, and especially the Army... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...3&postcount=97 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=371 |

The Good Friday Agreement or Belfast Agreement (Irish: Comhaontú Bhéal Feirste or Comhaontú Aoine an Chéasta; Ulster-Scots: Bilfawst Greeance or Guid Friday Greeance) was a major political development in the Northern Ireland peace process of the 1990s. The present constitutional status of Northern Ireland as part of the United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland's devolved system of government are based on the Agreement. The Agreement also created a number of institutions between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpVMTPL-ZMs As part of the Agreement, the British parliament repealed Government of Ireland Act 1920 (which had established Northern Ireland and partitioned Ireland) and the People of Ireland amended Articles 2 and 3 of the Constitution of Ireland, which asserted a territorial claim over Northern Ireland...

@lightgiver what is you own opinion? I guess you're anti Irish Nationalist & pro Loyalist, if you'd have joined the English army a few decades earlier you'd probably be sent to Belfast etc as well as Germany, (both occupied by the English Govt/Crown) Germany still is.

Dubliners, the patriot game Come all ye young rebels, and list while I sing, For the love of one's country is a terrible thing. It banishes fear with the speed of a flame, And it makes us all part of the patriot game. My name is O'Hanlon, and I've just turned sixteen. My home is in Monaghan, and where I was weaned I learned all my life cruel England's to blame, So now I am part of the patriot game. This Ireland of ours has too long been half free. Six counties lie under John Bull's tyranny. But still De Valera is greatly to blame For shirking his part in the Patriot game. They told me how Connolly was shot in his chair, His wounds from the fighting all bloody and bare. His fine body twisted, all battered and lame They soon made me part of the patriot game. It's nearly two years since I wandered away With the local battalion of the bold IRA, For I read of our heroes, and wanted the same To play out my part in the patriot game. [extra verse I found] I don't mind a bit if I shoot down police They are lackeys for war never guardians of peace And yet at deserters I'm never let aim The rebels who sold out the patriot game And now as I lie here, my body all holes I think of those traitors who bargained in souls And I wish that my rifle had given the same To those Quislings who sold out the patriot game.

I watched this documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k55kNpT7FmM which featured Brendan Hughes, a hardcore IRA member who at the end, believed everything to with the Belfast IRA was corrupted to the core and nothing is as it seems. Gerry Adams reassured him that "you're just being paranoid". Gerry Adams is a snake IMO. Its very coincidental that the targets of the high profile attacks in London escaped harm. Margaret Thatcher happened to not be in the room when the bomb went off. The mortar attack on downing street missed etc. I don't think MI6 agents ordered many bombings, I'd say they were more involved in manipulating the details of them (i.e. tipping off government officials that they were gonna come under attack). The British government tried to stop Muammar Ghaddafi from supplying the IRA with weapons and funding by secretly paying him off (which failed), if they were in control to the extent that 70% of attacks were actually planned by them, then Ghaddafi supplying weapons to the IRA wouldn't have posed a very big threat to the British government. I'm not sure what to make of the Lord Mountbatten bombing. Blowing up an old man, some old women and children did nothing but damage the public perception of the IRA and helped forward the British governments agenda, but would they really have let members of the royal family be collateral like that?

Operation Motorman WAS a large operation carried out by the British Army in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. The operation took place in the early hours of 31 July 1972 with the aim of retaking the "no-go areas" (areas controlled by Irish republican paramilitaries) that had been established in Belfast, Derry and other large towns..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cns_FOzAUGk By the end of 1971, 29 barricades were in place to block access to what was known as Free Derry; 16 of them impassable even to the British Army's one-ton armoured vehicles. Many of the nationalist/republican "no-go areas" were controlled by one of the two factions of the Irish Republican Army—the Provisional IRA and Official IRA. On 29 May 1972, the Official IRA called a ceasefire and vowed that it would only launch attacks in self-defence.. ![]() On 21 July 1972, in the space of 75 minutes, the Provisional IRA detonated 22 bombs in Belfast. Nine people (including two soldiers and a loyalist volunteer) were killed and 130 were injured. This attack prompted the British Government to implement Operation Motorman, just ten days later.. http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...62&postcount=2 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=370 |

This Below point is just an example of myths The Battle of the Boyne which for many signify the start of the troubles never even happened. After visiting the site and speaking to historians who studied the area, they have never found any remains or signs such as swords shiels etc of any kind ? It was explained by one of them that it was just a masonic symbolic event that had to be enacted but that no battle ever occured! Now before i offend anyone which im not trying to go research this fact before i get attacked or accused of being sectarian. It is mearly to point out that a key event can be changed and minipulated! I have now equal respect for all catholics and prodestants it just kills me that some of us wasted so many years hating and hurting our brothers when just a few used us all! i mearly want the truth! |

The Hyde Park and Regent's Park bombings occurred on 20 July 1982 in London, England. Members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) detonated two bombs during British military ceremonies in Hyde Park and Regent's Park. The explosions killed eleven military personnel: four soldiers of the Blues & Royals and seven military bandsmen of the Royal Green Jackets. Seven of the Blues and Royals' horses also died in the attack. One of the seriously injured horses, Sefton, survived; afterwards he featured on Many TeleVision Programmes and was awarded "Horse of the Year".. ![]() The first attack was a large nail bomb hidden in a Blue Austin car parked on South Carriage Drive in Hyde Park, along the route used by the Household Cavalry – the Queen's official bodyguard regiment during the Changing of the Guard between Buckingham Palace and Knightsbridge. Three soldiers of the Blues and Royals were killed instantly, and another died on 23 July from his injuries. The other soldiers in the procession were all badly wounded and shrapnel and nails sprayed into the crowd of tourists assembled to watch the parade, causing further injuries. Seven of the regiment's horses were also killed or had to be put down because of their injuries.Bomb experts believed that the first bomb was a remote-detonated improvised explosive device, which was exploded at just the right point to catch the parade... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showt...=133148&page=9..Money isn't as valuable to our organization as knowing who to trust.. http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...8&postcount=85...Yeah!
