Northern Ireland Troubles

British Army troops dismantle a barricade on Lucknow Street in the wake of conflict that arose after the Battle of the Bogside, Belfast, Northern Ireland, late summer 1969. The conflict in Derry, began on August 12 and ended on August 15 with the arrival of the army, involved police officers from the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the citizens of the Bogside neighborhood and was one of the first major incidents of the Troubles in the Northern Ireland--sympatric riots had broken out in other cities around the country.
