@JshPhotog Hello and thanks @JshPhotog I couldn't access via the link but found a great set of photographs of Belfast on your archive. Though aware of your more recent work, I hadn't seen these images documenting the 'Troubles'. Thanks for sharing this important work.

This is what Bloody Sunday is all about. 13 coffins side by side in St Mary's Church. The murderous work of the British parachute regiment. My mother in total distress. She never got over her beloved son Michael's death. Rest in Peace mum. Justice will prevail.

Negatives from a roll of film taken by Eamon Melaugh during the British Army's Operation Motorman (31 July 1972) in Creggan, Derry, have been gathered and put back into the chronological sequence in which they were taken on the day. https://t.co/EwrpF0znog

On this night 50 years ago thousands of people were looking forward to marching in peaceful protest against internment. The next day 13 innocent marchers didn't return home, brutally murdered by CHILD KILLERS of the 1st battalion of the parachute regiment. Never forgotten.
