1974 Blown Fusiliers Michael Official Onlookers Past Patrolling Regiment Relating
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment during the tumultuous period of the Northern Ireland Troubles in 1974. The image shows a soldier from the 1st Battalion of The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, likely 2/Lt Michael Plaistowe, as he leads his patrol past onlookers and the remnants of a building that has been blown up. The soldier's expression is focused and determined, his rifle at the ready, as he navigates the chaotic scene before him. The onlookers, some with curious expressions, others with looks of fear or anger, are a stark reminder of the complex and often volatile political climate that defined Northern Ireland during this time. The ruined building in the background serves as a grim reminder of the destructive power of the conflict and the devastating impact it had on communities and lives. This official photograph, part of a collection of ten images relating to 2/Lt Plaistowe and the 1st Battalion of The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, offers a glimpse into the challenging and dangerous environment that soldiers faced during their service in Northern Ireland between 1969 and 2007.
