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.
