Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Hit and run: Catholic youths turn an run towards dark sidestreets after unleasing a barrage of bricks and gasoline bombs at British troops in Catholic West Belfast. The soldiers gave chase and retaliated by opening fire with plastic bullets. Overturned trucks had been set alight as barricades and the young rioters melted into one dark street only to emerge from another and taunt the troops again; in a pattern that has become familiar over the years.
