The album from which the present photograph was extracted had been presented to F.

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.

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.
