A sunny Saturday afternoon in Creggan - July 1971
Tearing up the sidewalk to have things to throw at the Army



The Army preparing to advance




The Army advancing





The Army moving back after firing rubber bullets



Someone throwing a rock at an army vehicle
The rock is the blur above and slightly to the left of his head






People watching some kind of vehicle being overturned and set on fire




The vehicle burning, probably half an hour later





The day before Thanksgiving - 1971
Everyone with a November rotation date chose to leave that day so we'd still be home for Christmas
There were so many of us that someone decided, rather than reimburse all of us for getting to the airport in Belfast, it would be cheaper to charter an Ulsterbus
