Mr W.J Dixon Chairperson The Ely Centre 3 Foreword Operation Banner was the operational name for the British Armed Forces’ operation in Northern Ireland from August 1969 to July 2007. It was initially deployed at the request of the unionist government of Northern Ireland to support the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). After the 1998 Belfast Agreement, the operation was gradually scaled down. Its role was to assert the authority of the Government of the United Kingdom in Northern Ireland. The Royal Navy and Royal Marines in direct support of the Army commitment supplied a maritime component under the codename of Operation Grenada. In total 1,441 members of the British armed forces died in Operation Banner, including natural causes and suicide. Recent evidence suggest that suicide may be attributable to at least 25-33% of unknown deaths amongst members of the armed forces (NIVA, 2014). 692 soldiers in the regular British Army were killed as a result of paramilitary violence 689 died from other causes 197 soldiers from the Ulster Defence Regiment were killed as a result of paramilitary violence 284 died from other causes. 7 soldiers from the Royal Irish Regiment were killed as a result of paramilitary violence 7 died from other causes. 9 soldiers from the Territorial Army were killed as a result of paramilitary violence 8 died from other causes. 2 members from other branches in the army were killed as a result of paramilitary violence. 21 Royal Marines were killed as a result of paramilitary violence 5 died from other causes. 8 Royal Navy servicemen were killed as a result of paramilitary violence 3 died from other causes. 4 Royal Air Force servicemen were killed as a result of paramilitary violence 22 died from other causes. In Co Fermanagh a total of 21 regular British Amy soldiers were murdered. The Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) was solely responsible for all British Army killings. Thirteen soldiers were murdered during the 1970’s and a further eight soldiers were murdered in the 1980’s. 4 Thousands more suffered and continue to suffer from the physical and psychological injuries sustained in Operation Banner. The highest number of fatalities was sustained on the 321 (EOD) Company Royal Army Ordnance Corps and The Royal Regiment of Artillery, who each, had four soldiers killed during the 1970’s. The Royal Regiment of the Fusiliers had three members killed, The Kings Own Scottish Borderers and The 9th/12th Royal Lancers (Prince of Wales’s) regiments each had 2 members killed. The Special Air Service, The Royal Corps Transport, The Royal Green Jackets, The 15th/19th Kings Royal Hussar, The 16th/5th Queens Royal Lancers and The Royal Hampshire Regiment each had one member killed. The Ely Centre extends our sincerest gratitude to all the brave and courageous soldiers of the British Army who fought against terrorism during the ‘Troubles”. We remember with honour those who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending Northern Ireland from terrorism.

Conclusion Bibliography Introduction Northern Ireland conflict, called “the Troubles” was the most durable conflict in the Europe since WW2. Before War in Donbass (2014-present), which lead to 9,371 death up to June 3, 20161 it also can be called the bloodiest conflict, but unfortunately The Donbass War snatched from The Troubles “the victory palm” of this dreadful competition. The importance of this issue, however, is still essential and vital because of challenges Europe experience now. Both proxy war on Donbass and recent terrorist attacks had strained significantly the political atmosphere in Europe, showing that Europe is not safe anymore. In this conditions, it is necessary for us to try to assume, how far this insecurity and tensions might go and will the circumstances and the challenges of a international relations ignite the conflict in Northern Ireland again. It also makes sense for us to recognize that the Troubles was also a proxy war to a certain degree 23 Sources, used in this essay are mostly mass-media articles, human rights observers’ and international organizations reports, and surveys made by political scientists on this issue.

The Project title; ‘Terrorism knows NO Borders’ aptly illustrates the broader point that we are seeking to make through our involvement in this work, namely that in the context of Northern Ireland terrorism and criminal violence was not curtailed to Northern Ireland alone but rather that individuals, families and communities experienced its’ impacts across the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and beyond these islands. This Memorial Quilt Project does not claim to represent the totality of lives lost across Great Britain and The Republic of Ireland but rather seeks to provide some understanding of the sacrifices paid by communities, families and individuals who have been victimised by ‘Republican’ or ‘Loyalist’ terrorism. SEFF’s ethos means that we are not purely concerned with victims/survivors who live within south Fermanagh or indeed the broader County.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

  • The Omagh Bombing - a Medical Perspective Capt SJO Potter Bsc (Hons), MB, Chb, RAMC RMO
    J R Army Med Corps 2000; 146: 18-21 J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-146-01-04 on 1 February 2000. Downloaded from The Omagh Bombing - A Medical Perspective Capt SJO Potter BSc (Hons), MB, ChB, RAMC RMO 4 Royal Irish Regiment, BFPO 804 Dr GE Carter MB, ChB, DRCOG GP Trainee SUMMARY: The bomb in Omagh on the 15th August 1998 was responsible for the largest loss of life of any single terrorist incident in the whole of the “Troubles” in Northern Ireland. However, the medical response to this tragedy provided an excellent opportunity for the civilian and military agencies to work together. As a consequence of this a number of lessons were drawn which are presented in the paper. Whatever the outcome of the peace process these lessons will have an important role in the future, since history would suggest that there is little possibility of the terrorist threat ever completely receding. OMAGH COURT HOUSE LOCATION OF VBIED http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ Fig 1. Diagram showing location of Court House in relation to actual location of car bomb. (VBIED) The Good Friday Agreement heralded a new era for the small district general hospital - The Tyrone County. The people of Northern Ireland. It was with great belief in the Ulster Ballygawley Bus bombing in 1988 (8 dead) and the Teebane Referendum that they dared to look forward to peace. The massacre in 1992 (8 dead) had been the previous largest Canary Wharf, Thiepval Barracks and Manchester bombings atrocities in the area although there had also been many smaller which all occured during previous PIRA cease-fires provided shootings and bombings locally.

There is much practical support available to both serving personnel and their families and veterans and their dependants. However, access to such support is often obscured by lack of detailed information or shrouded by information overload, to the extent that an individual in need may have trouble identifying exactly where to turn for help. This Handbook is intended to assist the whole Service community by clearly spelling out “who does what for whom” and by identifying local contact details. It is intended to be a reference document and to act as a sign-post to local agencies which, once contacted, can then follow up with support intervention as required. Stakeholders and gate-keepers are urged to use it if a member of the Service community in need comes to their attention. The Handbook is as comprehensive as possible and identifies the major support organisations available to the Service community in Northern Ireland, and especially to veterans and their dependants.
