1969 Battle of the Bogside, Royal Ulster Constabulary riot helmet and gas mask. A black RUC 'Skulgarde' helmet with metal badge and Enniskillen Depot label to interior; together with a gas mask of a type issued to the RUC; also a truncheon. Collection Mr Patrick O'Hagan, Belfast. The 1969 Apprentice Boys parade didn't enter the nationalist Bogside area of Derry but it skirted close enough for exchanges of stones thrown between Catholic and Protestant groups. The exchanges quickly intensified and the RUC attempted to drive the Catholics back towards the Bogside. A barricade on Rossville Street became the interface between the two sides with the RUC encouraging Protestant youths to fire slingshots across while officers attempted to remove the barrier. Stones and petrol bombs were rained down on the RUC from the buildings above. As the barricade was breeched civilians rushed in with the RUC raising fears of attacks on homes in the Bogside.The riots lasted three days during which Free Derry was declared in the Bogside. Of the 59 RUC officers involved in the initial exchanges, 43 were injured. James Chichester-Clarke, Prime Minister of Northern Ireland requested that the Army be deployed on the streets of Derry. It was the first deployment of British troops in the Northern Ireland Troubles. The British troops were at first welcomed by the Bogside residents as a neutral force compared to the police and especially the B-Specials.

1970 Raglan Street, Falls Curfew, British Army steel helmet with visor. A British Mk IV steel helmet, fitted with a perspex visor for riot and crowd control in Northern Ireland. Collection Mr Patrick O'Hagan, Belfast. Recovered July 1970 from Raglan Street, following the 'Falls Curfew' riots. The Falls Curfew was a British Army operation in July 1970 in Belfast. The operation began as a house-to house search for weapons in the Falls district. Local youths attacked the British soldiers with stones and petrol bombs. The troops' initial response of firing CS gas quickly escalated into gun battles between British soldiers and the IRA. Lieutenant General Sir Ian Henry Freeland, commander of the British Army in Northern Ireland, ordered that the area, comprising 3,000 homes, be sealed off. A curfew was imposed and house-to-house searches recommenced, now with continuous skirmishes between troops, residents and the IRA.The searches became increasingly destructive and a large amount of CS gas was fired into the area. Many residents complained of abuse at the hands of the soldiers. On 5 July, the curfew was brought to an end when thousands of women and children from nearby Andersonstown marched into the curfew zone with food and groceries for the locals.

General Sir John Maxwell, Black Watch (Royal Highlanders), General officer's uniform headgear. A Black Watch General officer's feather bonnet of dyed Ostrich feathers, with four tails, a velvet edged diced band of regimental pattern bearing black silk rosette with gilt sphinx resting on a tablet inscribed "Egypt". To the rear of the bonnet two silk tails, with black patent leather chin strap and scarlet cut feather hackle, in japanned storage tin with brass plaque engraved, 'General Sir J. Maxwell'; a General officer's full-dress cocked hat with feather plume, in japanned case; and a court bicorn hat with cut steel cockade, in japanned case. (3) General Sir John Grenfell Maxwell GCB, KCMG, CVO, DSO, PC (11 July 1859 – 21 February 1929) was a British Army officer and colonial governor. He served in the Mahdist War in the Sudan, the Boer War, and in the First World War, but he is best known for his role in the brutal suppression of the 1916 Easter Rising and subsequent execution of rebellion leaders.After the Rising started, on 24 April 1916, Martial Law was declared for the city and county of Dublin by the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Wimborne, to allow Court Martial trials of persons breaching the Defence of the Realm Act (DORA), passed 8 August 1914 and to deal with such occurrences as the Rising.Maxwell arrived in Ireland on Friday 28 April as "military governor" with "plenary powers" under Martial law. He set about dealing with the rebellion under his understanding of Martial law. During the week 2 to 9 May, Maxwell was in sole charge of trials and sentences by "field general court martial", which was trial without defence or jury and in camera. He had 3,400 people arrested, 183 civilians tried, 90 of whom were sentenced to death. Fifteen were executed by firing squad between 3 May and 12 May.Prime Minister H.H. Asquith and his government became concerned at the speed and secrecy of events before intervening to stop more executions. In particular, there was concern that DORA regulations of general court martial were not applied, i.e. a full court of thirteen members, a professional judge, legal advocate and held in public, which could have prevented some executions. Maxwell admitted in a report to Asquith in June that the impression that the leaders were killed in cold blood without trial had resulted in a ‘revulsion of feeling‘ that had set in, in favour of the rebels, and was the result of the confusion between applying DORA as opposed to Martial law. Although Asquith promised to publish the court martial proceedings, they were not published until the 1990s.Maxwell retired in 1922 and died, aged 69, in 1929.

PLEASE NOTE AMENDED DESCRIPTION AS FOLLOWS:By Order of the Recipient: the Indonesia operations group of three medals to Sergeant M.D. Watkins, South Wales Borderers, who formed part of the regular army contingent which supported S.A.S. operations across the Indonesian border during the Borneo Confrontation of 1963-66: General Service 1962-2007, with bronze oak leaf emblem, three clasps: Borneo, South Arabia, Northern Ireland (23980302 PTE. M.D. WATKINS. SWB.); United Nations Forces in Cyprus, unnamed as issued; Regular Army Long Service and Good Conduct, Elizabeth II (23980302 SGT. M.D. WATKINS.), lazer engraved in plain capitals; recently mounted for wearing and accompanied by dress miniatures for the first two and a small quantity of photographs. Good very fine or better.The following details are taken from the recipient's personal account of his career: he joined the Welsh Brigade in Brecon in 1963, and following training he was posted to the South Wales Borderers, joining the regiment in Hong Kong, where he spent six months, before being selected for a six week jungle training course at Kota Tinggi in Johor. Before he could return to Hong Kong his regiment was required to provide men to join the military presence in Borneo, where the British were fighting to contain armed incursions from across the Indonesian border. Private Watkins and his companions were the obvious choice for this role, and H.M.S. Albion took them to a point from which they flew in helicopters to join men of the Scots Guards at a jungle camp 5,000 yards from the border. Forbidden to cross the border they spent two weeks defending it, until the arrival of elements of the S.A.S. who's brief was to take the fight into Indonesia.  From this point the recipient says he began crossing the border as part of fire teams giving support to the special forces, and on occasion, extracting them from difficult situations. He recalls one incident in which his patrol found two troopers who had been captured, had their hands cut off, been covered in tar and left to die in the jungle. The recipient says that a commendation was earned, as represented by the oak leaf emblem, when his patrol was ambushed: he advanced along to the left to provide suppressing fire with his LMG, enabling the rest of his platoon to manoeuvrer. In constant danger and coming under fire both in camp and while on patrol, they had to move in total silence during the day, often living off the land owing to the impossibility of carrying sufficient rations for extended operations. Following a brief return to the UK, the recipient next served in Aden, patrolling the border, searching houses for arms in Radfan, and, once again, providing support for the S.A.S., at times extracting men who had infiltrated enemy forces posing as Arabs. He recollects coming under more fire here than he had even in Borneo. Peacekeeping duties in Turkey and Cyprus and a spell in South Africa were followed by an advanced firearms training course in Warminster, from where he was posted to the Devon and Dorset regiment in Osnabruck, his regiment by then having been amalgamated to form the Royal Regiment of Wales. He passed a gruelling course in resisting interrogation, before being posted to Belfast, where he performed in an undercover role at the Old Bakery in Snugville Street. Following the capture of a senior I.R.A. man in the Falls Area his identity became known and beside a subsequent spell in Armagh, his time in Northern Ireland was at an end. He saw further service in Malta, where the riots following independence called for police work. His final role included giving instruction at various weapons training facilities, and the demanding job of testing security at government building in the UK. Posing as a hostile he would allow himself to be captured and interrogated to judge the capabilities of the security personnel.
