"At an annual dinner-dance organised for the Irish Collie Club, the above victims were all killed by a blast incendiary placed by the PIRA.

All the twelve victims and the thirty others injured were Protestants. There were three married couples."
(excert from 'Lost Lives')

Unlike my usual habit, I will not go into further detail about this atrocity. I would point anyone who wants more detail toward 'Lost Lives'. The detail is too sickening for casual, matter-of-fact description.

Please all, rest in peace.

La Mon

I unfortunately was a young RUC officer at the scene

We were given this leaflet later to hand out to the public

I had the grim task of escorting the photographer who took this photo at Forester Green Hospital Mortuary in Belfast, this was actually one of the better preserved bodies.



Forgive? - It's hard

Forget? - Never!
