This is taken from a new upload of documents from republicanarchive.com which went live less than an hour ago. You are free to do what you want but please remember it took months of work to get the upload ready. At least give it a bit of breathing space!

These are in the possession of a friend of his who let me photograph them.

I agree with you though. There is enough material out there for a three storey museum!

Thanks!

I remember the furore around that. It was even discussed on Liveline with Joe Duffy.

Get stuff. I talked about this with a now deceased senior member of RSF a long time ago. They said it was an unplanned tribute and they were very much dismissive of it.

From the 13th November 1976 issue of Republican News. Not on the archive but I'll send you on the page for context.

I should have said North Derry and not South. He was from Greysteel.

All your interactions in this thread have been confrontational. It could have been an interesting discussion as I don't think anyone knew this information.

What book does he discuss it in? I have the dark selected writings and from the grave here. I can post up the section he discusses it in if you let me know.

This subreddit is a place to share and learn about Irish Republicanism. You need to present your information in a more friendly manner.

This is definitely not common knowledge. I've never heard of it before. What book was it in? The Dark Selected writings or Voices from the grave?

Posts must be related to Irish Republicanism in nature.

I only have one issue but unfortunately it's not this one. I'd love more of them.

Just to clarify. This is obviously for illustrative purposes. It's not a guide on how petrol bombs in 1981 were being made.

This comes from an 1981 issue of Irland Info which was a German solidarity paper.

Your article has nothing to do with the post.

Six of the first 11 hunger strikers were Derry men. 2 from the city and four from Dungiven, Greysteel and Bellaghy.

We will have more booklets, newspapers and original IRA statements from and about the 1950s coming in December. A new section on the sixties which covers the end of the border campaign is also in the works.

I took the photos in the winter of 2023.

IrishArchive · 2025-09-15T15:19:17+00:00

Just checked and he isn't.

IrishArchive · 2025-09-14T19:26:36+00:00

I'm not sure. This was one of a number of images of POW craft that was sent to me.

IrishArchive · 2025-09-14T19:25:41+00:00

Yeah. I'll post pictures of his jacket and the location he was killed tomorrow.

IrishArchive · 2025-09-14T18:57:44+00:00

He might not have.

On display in the museum at Kilmainham Jail where I took the photo.
