Jackson of being a member of the Ulster Defense regiment then the largest regiment in the british army. He was later involved in the massacre of the Miami Showband in july 975 when 3 band members were killed by members of the clan and gang as they attempted to plant a bomb on the musicians boss. Boilers paramilitaries highest boyle and Wesley Somerville were killed instantly as the bomb exploded prematurely. Well the Ulster Defense regiment was the largest regiment in the british army it was geographically recruited here and the north of ireland and it only served here in the north of ireland it was essentially a counterinsurgency unit that was set up the beginning of the troubles. That itself took over from the discredit the specials which was a special place charlotte thought it existed since the 1920 s. And it was clear from the outset that the u. D. R. Was set up to recruit from within the loyalist on the unionist community. They were almost entirely drawn from within not commanded. Declassified documents from british sources from the Prime Ministers Office from the ministry of defense secretary of States Office make it quite shockingly clear that from the perspective of the British Government it was acceptable to recruit so into the regiment who was an octave loyalist paramilitary it was a member of a loyalist paramilitary group. Theres no doubt that the creation of the else the defense regiment was influence for the british show me boy the experience in the employ of these kinds of local regimens what controls and commanded by british offices and any intrinsic palls in the chain of command rich homie were common through all of the counterinsurgency campaigns there was a real and genuine high at the instigation of the regiments that it would be truly crossed me to see would be known 6 hereon in character but it became apparent very quickly that that was not going to be the case and the british army was willing to live with the consequences which was that this would be in many ways a sectarian regiment. Many people from little in this community joined the regiment to get weapons training and to state the weapons and according to the official documents that we funded the u. D. R. It was the largest Single Source of modern weapons flowing to the loyalist paramilitary groups it was a recipe for disaster. And one of the things we noticed whenever we started to do the research was the large numbers of gongs that were disappearing from both our you see and u. D. R. Armory and places like. This is like the Territorial Army that was our volunteer force in. The can are to name but a few. Now we have a pictorial of just the devastating effect that one of these going to get out of. This is main millimeter starting submachine gong stolen from the r. B. S. On the 20th 24th the man one thing to have a new one and subsequently used to kill a lot of people and seriously injure numerous other people and the attacks were these are the people that i. Was with the charge also shows as is who was used in these goings on here we can see that some of the people who were involved in using these columns were also members of the r. U. C. On the u. D. R. And we also see as i said who all was killed on one of those people who was killed and one of the force that acts with us was used was with my own father who was killed and on the farms over a bridge. Behind. We do know as a matter of holmes as a matter of. A brief looking process and terrorists that is the domain of the i. O. C. They are you see the police was created in the early 1920 s. At the same time as the state of Northern Ireland was created and it reflected the contested nature of the state it was almost 93 percent drawn from one community and as a both part time element on a full time element there was a militarized force from the outset it was framed on the colonial model of British Police and. Very fraught and fractious relationship with the. Nationalist community. As a Nonviolent Civil Rights Movement korean force in the late 1960 s. It was the reaction of the r. U. C. To the absolutely and the attacks on the 1st civil rights marches by the police that actually energies the movement. Of people and let the fuse for the conflict at the time. Then in the 1960 s. And 1969 in particular we had a situation where there was coordinated loyalist attacks protectee on the population of belfast 10. Forced to flee their homes the irish army set up refugee camps along the border which put up the refugees in the north was striking about these attacks was that the r. U. C. The Police Actually took part in the attacks on the catholic community. At the time. So instead of preventing them they were active participants in the burning of whole streets in belfast at the time. On the 5th of june 1906 the gang attacked a small rural pope called the rock bar near kiddie. Approaching the pope they shot a local man called mick mcgrath as he left the building. They then detonated a nail bomb which failed to explode. What was striking about this particular attack was that all those involved were members of the local police force the r. U. C. With some on duty as the attack took place. And so many up on and sentencing these Police Officers the lord chief justice went so far as to claim and i quote that they were trying to rid the land of pestilence but thats the kind of language that nazi shoes but use. A very important landmark for the campaign and and 999 was the fact that we acquired they. Was a former sergeant and they are you say he had been convicted of the marge are off a man called william strathairn and he had served 7 years in prison. Enough.

Thanks to him and thanks to all the evidence that was becoming available of course he was central to the killing. Of. The special patrol special patrol. Section of the or you see. The. Terrorists. The death. Of the disk. Our bones. We did not deal with all of them really police to teach us to distracted men. Who liked that type of auction so it would have attracted officers who would tended to to be more militant than the ordinary policeman.

Some of the are you see man where names were involved over many years and a number of fatal bombings and shootings alongside paramilitaries in the Ulster Volunteer force they include are you see man William Mcarthur a selfconfessed killer. Also r. U. C. Reserve constable Lawrence Mcclure police to be one of the gangs most experienced bomb makers who was convicted of causing an explosion and possession of firearms at the rock bar for which are ever the only received a suspended sentence or you see constable in mitchell was also convicted of causing an explosion at the rock bar and possession of firearms but similarly only received a suspended sentence Gerry Armstrong who were also names escaped any conviction in the rock bar attack a lower the Historical Enquiries Team a police unit set up to investigate historical murders says he was clearly a principal of fandor in a later book penned by armstrong after his release from prison he clearly details his role in the rock bar attack in a chapter called on fulfilled potential. Between the middle of night in 72 when the guy was really started its work until the end of 975 thats less than 3 years the guy had killed 89 people. In one month alone in april 9075 the 1st person they killed was dorothy trainer a prostitute woman walking home with a catholic husband 3 portadown. Within 3 days theyd killed Martin Mcveigh who was murdered as he cycled home from work in the same town portadown a couple of weeks later they blew up a Little Cottage that was being renovated killing 2 brothers and a sister and the sisters unborn baby girl. And by the end of the month theyd also care. A man called when boyle who had been sitting at his Kitchen Table looking at photographs of his newborn baby girl so there in just one month in one small geographical area you had 4 separate attacks in which 7 people were killed these attacks were remorseless and they ratcheted up the pressure until the end of 975 when a completely new development took place. As with previous attacks the modus operandi of the gang was to strike 2 targets almost simultaneously. In a white Cross Country the revie family sat down to watch a popular t. V. Show when gunmen entered the family home 24 year old john martin was hit as he sat in his chair while 22 year old brian was shot in the back trying to escape into a nearby bedroom. Anthony the youngest brother dived underneath the bed for cover before the gunmen sprayed the bed with bullets. A little while later on they heard them all night through the front door and then the baby now then why did i come on the bad. Brian who was in the bible as a file these posts are you he was dead. Them all up into the guts and then john martin he was lyin in a pearl of blood on a field as pauls on it on a near it was all the dead. At around the same time gunmen burst into the home of the old guard family only 17 miles away and barely dog and country done. Again the intention was to wipe out an entire family. As they rushed their way into the house they opened fire and barney would who was his a number of times his brother joe who attempted to charge the gunman was killed instantly. While i was shot 1st and they are. As fun mayor are. On day by the time when youre. A bar it was dad. Because. He was in the ring at every were in. But i crawled out into the hallway. Back to the body was layin there to you a well as an intensive care of course and was there for a week. The doctor here marar not mourning it. Has years should be real hey if things are banned according to logic if you shouldnt be here. Because those are a ball of go one step for your heart. For no will perjury it and the word they used. The word nether bow nor gross will nor muscle to stop what but a target 90 percent term and took great kidney with. As the smoke settled 3 members of the old guard family into revie brothers and they dead 17 year old anthony revie died later in hospital. The tally asian from the mens killings was swift brutal. The following evening a minibus of textile workers was stopped by members of the ira in kings mills not far from the review home where the killings had taken place the night before. These pictures tell the story of the horror that followed. Up to 20 gunman surrounded the minibus its catholic driver taken to safety the bus its on board moaned on most of us like. Policemen who arrived shortly afterwards told of bodies piled on top of one another. The gore and the personal effects give a hint of a conic. When we met shown were im powerless one of the burning questions we had is why he and the others only getting to know retaliated for the kings well massacre. As for was chilling he told us there was a plan and the plan mostly attack a Primary School to kill all the children in the school to kill the teachers we asked him why it didnt go ahead and he tours because the e. V. F. Leadership in belfast believed that the plan came from Army Headquarters came from military intelligence and a been planted that milledge intelligence wanted the whole situation to spiral out of control and this was too much for the e. V. F. And they refused to go ahead even for them it was a step too far. The plot. That was decided on. Was to shoot top were a school. In police. Just on the outskirts of leaks. So we say sure dont screw during show the procedure the screw children teachers yes. Yes. Theyre into those. Yes i do indeed yes i do need. The move. If thats hard hop and. I think there is neatly dart. There would have been a shocking retaliation. From the republican side. Retaliation from the republican side. It would have eventually in a fairly short time i should say they told us quite the contrary into. Prop. Our civil war situation i think the contrie was almost already in a civil war situation but if that happened. Even the moderates. On both sides were going to have to take sides on the was going to be. There was going to be a serious serious civil war. We had a meeting with the chief constable the most Senior Police officer and the p. S. L. E. Accompanied by an assistant chief constable at their headquarters and we asked them. What they intended to but the fact that a former Police Sergeant william a cry out about it publicly that he was also part of the plan to kill 30 children out of school and their teachers. There was a pause they looked at each other and they told us that Nothing Happened on the was no intention of doing anything. He wasnt to be arrested. To be reinvestigated nothing would happen. And i think at that moment after we left. We talked about it and we realized that where else in europe would a former Police Officer plan to kill a large number of children and a School Former employer would say that he had no plans to reinterview him as a result. Of dunning street in london the british Prime Minister Harold Wilson was faced with what he called himself an apocalyptic crisis. The narrative was spinning out of control and civil war could not be ruled out. Amongst the options he considered were a dried withdraw and Self Government if the people of the north were on governable he could not go. In an atmosphere of near panic wilson called a council of war at his official country retreat checkers. In the peaceful countryside. Also present was the secretary of state for defense. And the secretary of state for Northern Ireland and greece on the Security Side was headed by so david house the general officer commanding northern arent. Well wilson attempted to control the worsening situation the hawks within British Military intelligence hoped for a different outcome. Where all out war could be waged on the ira. In the meantime gang were slaughtering anyone but republican targets. So we asked ourselves why why these people and we drew up 2 lists one was of people who were unlucky enough to be caught up in indiscriminate car bombs and the other this was a people who were targeted or watched chased hunted at their work or at their home and we discovered to our surprise that every single one of those bar one. Self starters people were making something of their lives they were ordinary people and then we asked ourselves why why these people. And the ferry we came to was that frank kitson in his classic manual of counterinsurgency operations roads that if you cant catch the fish either by rod or net then poison the water and author areas that these ordinary people were targeted to persuade other ordinary people to repudiate the irate to withdraw support from the ira course didnt work had the opposite effect violence begets violence if people cant trust the law they would take the law into their own hands it was completely counterproductive as well as illegal and immoral i think the stage weve reached as a longer stand. The legal cooperation. Cooperation between. Members of the Security Forces loyalist paramilitary groups sometimes as happened and eventual level and sometimes as happened on a more structural level tech in the 1980 s. And ninetys. There was no actual crime of collusion and this terrorist action but clearly it involved a number of criminal acts by Police Officers and or soldiers and its been a phenomenon throughout the troubles and we find collusion in many countries we francos munchies and pseudo goings he is deniable 3rd forces in order to carry out current or insurgency but not to deny a whole way. I think the rule of loyalist paramilitaries here. They did what the Security Forces felt that they couldnt do because and theory they were by and by the rule of law and so they could use deniable 3rd forces to do it for them. You cant argue with nature and its nature that has to live through this message and so will we know only your more are going to have to adjust the way they live and conduct business to take into account this new vitally important aspect of our life the need to exist with coded 92 i think that some changes in a positive direction are going to happen out of or some interest to us is species majestic without changing. Some control for a middle class to homeless overnight most of our very hard working people who want to get ahead that have either have some some Health Issues or have some of how this trick about luck the whole time job one told is pay for a place to live and missing just a months rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly.
