| I don't know the Dobbin family personally but I think it was my grandfather who swapped shifts with Dessie on that fateful day. 4 years later he too would lose his life for the job he did. My heartfelt sympathy to the Dobbin family and may Dessie be at peace. (26/02/2010 13:11:11

| Dessie was a brilliant artist and several of his paintings are to be found in homes and police stations around Northern Ireland. This was one of those tragic incidents whereby he had swapped shifts with a colleague and was on duty when he shouldn't. Sadly missed. (10/08/2007 14:26:33

| Carl Hierons x Green Howards I think I know Norman Duncan from the time I spent with the Green Howards in Londonderry 1988-1989 if he's the one I knew he was a good man and loved the work he did. The job he was doing at the time of death was very important!! he was escort to a bus full of school children, the bus came under fire when all the children had left. We only carried hand guns but he would have put up a good fight. I did the same duty just before him, he took over my duty then I went on leave, while I was on leave I heard on the radio of what happened, I was angry and cried that night. I was only 18 at the time but I will always remember. (22/02/2009 18:41:18 by Carlosos from Cleveland )

Your son is following in your foot steps, as a member of the First Royal Irish, I think you would be proud of him, and his daughters. Its been twenty nine years but still feels like yesterday.

| I remeber this tragic day and always will, I was serving with the Royal Welch Fusiliers on a 6 month tour at the time of the incident. The day it happened I was based at Fort Whiterock, think it was the FA Cup replay between man city and Spurs, during the game we were tasked to go to Kellys Corner as there was reports of youths throwing stones, so we left in a Humber Pig and made our way down, on approaching kellys corner there was no sign of any youths and we were tasked to go to New Barsly Police station. On arriving at the police station ther were a number of RUC with their hotspurs milling about we exchanged plesantries about the football and they left the police station. It must have been approx 3 to 5 minutes later we heard the explosion of the rocket hitting the Hotspur, we deployed and must have just missed the killers. To this day I still think about those RUC men doing thier duty and often think it could have been us after passing the firing point 5 minutes earlier. RIP my friend and comrade (03/08/2011 14:07:50

| I was with William's son 'Jock' when we arrived back at the WO quarters in Bracht where we lived, to find 3 staff cars outside his house. His father had just been killed in NI. I went on to become an army WO myself (R SIGNALS), and served in NI. I never forgot that sad day in 1972 which devastated my friend's family, and shocked our small community. I always place a small cross at remembrance to the valiant WO2 WJ CLARK, RAOC(EOD) (26/12/2012 15:38:37

| Mne Adam ' Gilly ' Gilbert was killed as the result of a gunshot wound to the head at first light on the morning of 15th June 1989. This was unfortunately the result of friendly fire. Gilly did not die immediately but never regained consciousness and died less than an hour later in Belfast hospital. Gilly was a member of 4 troop Lima Coy 42 Commando RM. We had been in Girdwood Park for less than a fortnight when this tragic incident occured. I was there with him until the end and remember him like it was yesterday. You will never be forgotten Gilly.

| You were a great guy and a brilliant solider, one of the best. I can remember your passing out parade as though it was yesterday. We were all so proud of you. I know you would have gone onto greater and better things in the Army and in civilian life if life had not dealt you a cruel blow. You will always be remember.

| I still think of you Leon. It was so sad when you died doing the job you loved. I will never understand the futility and cowardice of a booby trapped bomb. We were all very proud of you and still are. God bless. Jackie (foster-sister) x (10/09/2008 23:17:03
