              Pte Bradley may have served with 2 (Co Armagh) Battalion

              L/Cpl Thompson may have served with 1/9 (Co.Antrim) Battalion.

              Sadly other than this I can add no details.

              Rest easy comrades, never forgotten.

                22/Jan/1976 Donegall Pass RUC Station

                Insp George Bell, 54, married with three children

                D/Con Neville Cummings, 37, married with three children

                A shotgun was discovered wrapped in a quilt, in a coal shed behind a derelict on Benburb St off the Donegall Road. A telephone caller had reported seeing armed men acting suspiciously at this location.

                The weapon was brought back to the station; as it was being made safe, the action of 'breaking' the gun detonated four ounces of commercial explosive in the butt of the weapon.

                The two officers were killed and four others injured, two of them seriously.

                'Inspector Bell, a native of Dungannon, had won a number of police honours including one for rescuing people after an explosion in Central Belfast. He had been in the RUC for 28 years.

                D/Con Cummings had been a police officer for 19 years.'

                Rest in Peace.
