RIP to all the victims of the troubles. A war was raging in this troubled part of Ireland. Things have moved on from those days. Let’s hope our kids and people can live together in peace. RIP
I was 11yrs old when this happened. Was so sad 😞 to hear it on the news. They were young soldiers who didn't deserve to die in a lonely round. Breaks my ❤ thinking about it. They were killed by cowards from the back . Sick bastards who did this.
Republicans have tried to deface the memorial in Ligoniel over 20 times now and the good people of Ulster keep going up and cleaning the paint and what ever else is poured over it.... we shall never forget these young lads.
TRIBUTE TAE OOR SOLDIERS PAST AND PRESENT Here's to the men of the Scottish Division From the time the world began. And here's to the Pipes and Drums as they march Each man to serve his Clan. Remember the Seaforths, the Camerons, the Argylls, The Black Watch, the Gordons with their cocky wee smiles, The Cameronians, The Royal Scots and the KOSB, The HLI, the Greys and the Bold Fusilier with a glint in his eee'. Think of their honours, in battles they have won, Think of the fathers, the brothers, the sons, Think of the scars that we cannot see, And the lands far away, that they have set free. Now Honour these men from the present to the past, With great pride in your heart and thoughts that will last. Jock copyrighted
@@liammellows-hz3pf would they be the brave people that killed and tortured women, children and men in the name of unity! The same cowards that used blackmail, threats and beatings to ensure people where 'on their side'. The same cowards who wouldn't stand and fight but want someone to pay a price for their 'brave' volunteers where killed! They must be some extraordinary people or simply gutless cowards.
I was at Gordon barricks Aberdeen age 15 in 1970, we were junior soldiers getting trained, so we can join our regiments. and Joseph was like year and bit older me, and was so excited to be going to Edinburgh to do his 6 months training, then go on too his unit. It was such a shock to all of us, as we were so numb, and how this happened to the Three of them I remember a tough Sergeant Rioch crying, as he say I train him, and even today I can see him do this in my mind. We did a collection from everyone in the barricks, and it went to the families involved. Today it leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth, that they never find the killers R I P

we will always remember these 3 Young scotish soldiers. you will never be forgotten. R.I.P. always in our hearts. murdered by cawardly scumbags I.R.A! lowest of the low!
@Straight White British Protestant loyalists were killing people before the troubles started cause they're handicapped and don't know anything g about history like you .
We were positioned at the Oxford street bus station when these Scottish Soldiers were murdered and all off duty excursions were banned. We patrolled daily pass where these young Men were killed- I understand there continue to be attempts at a memorial at the site We shall remember
Shame for they lads. And I'd like to point out. Every Man Ive met, that Was R.H.F or ex R.H.F,would Never condem anyone for Remembering these young men!!!.
@@junkersbestmate9196 yeah.. quite shocking innocent Catholics forgot about cuz they were killed by their own...but glorify the same people who.murdered them...🤯💔💣🤮
I was 10yrs old when this happened. It was so sad They were murdered by the IRA and left like carbage on side of road. They were so young. I remember ppl leaving flowers were they were found. Really heartbreaking.
The youngest was 16 he lied about his age to join the army my gran lived beside them and her husband was there best friends he was supposed to be with them that night
The one of the problems with the troubles was the people opinions didn’t change. The army was deployed in 69/70 and a few years later the army was hated because of Bloody Sunday, falls curfew and Demetrius, that was before 1975. 15 years later in 1990, the people who served, the procedures, the equipment and the motives behind the operation were different but the opinions hadn’t changed. We were still hated. It’s one of those things about time, half way through Op Banner was 1988 but people’s perception is that by then it was almost over. The army changed, the people didn’t, certainly not their opinions.
🌞VETERAN ROYAL SCOTS..AGE, WAS P PUT UP TOO 18 FOR NORTHEN ISLAND.. BUT MANY 17 YEARS OLDS WENT TO THE * FALKLANDS AND AFFGHANISTAN , IRAQ ECT. MANY DIED OVER THERE AT 17YEARS..
Killed by one of their own - a former British soldier from the Parachute Regiment. Of course this would be hard to prove definitively now for the suspect is dead but the evidence does seem to be quite damning. This former British soldier told former PIRA comrades how these 3 Scottish soldiers were killed. The same former British soldier was also a main suspect in the Kingsmill Massacre and he was known to the British security services. So it looks like he will just be another british soldier who evades justice and gets away with murder.
Sad reality is many people have got away with murder in this wee country. Many have got away with things that would not have been tolerated any where else.. but the machine let it rage and destroyed so many lives. This regiment saved the life of my mum and me and will be forever grateful. They also had to protect children going to school in protestant area as it was constantly under attack in interface. Anyone who made tea or spoke to the soldiers; some were tarred and feathered, some had to leave the country and start a new life in other parts of the UK. This was mainly IRA targeting women within their own community's. Something else brushed under the carpet. They will never be forgotten and some folk just can't handle that. The fact that the IRA killed more of their OWN people kinda gets ignored. Done with all the bullshit, hatred and crimes still being committed against the innocents.
@@chelbythesea8424 that one statement always amazes me - "the IRA killed more of their own people" - I can never understand the relevance of it. If an innocent man, woman or child is murdered, should it matter who killed them or what religion they are? The IRA murdered hundreds of innocent people, just as the loyalists did, the religion of the innocent victim should not matter. Loyalists killed more members of loyalist groups (94) than they did republican paramilitaries (41) - is that relevant.
@@arthurgoodness7865 relevant to what...i am not saying a catholic life is of any less value than a protestant the thread is about 3 Scottish soldiers...I.love the majority of.people in this country, because this is my home and we are a pretty amazing bunch... regardless of their religion. I am well aware of both sides of the story and the untold truth...
Why were they in Ireland in the first place? There are no Irish soldiers walking around Scotland. They were not in their own country and that carries a risk.
George Buller from my knowledge they were sent in to stop the riots and crisis between Catholics and Protestants and Catholics opinions on the British soldiers changed
"They were not in their own country and that carries a risk." Yet millions of Irish people live on the British mainland quite happily and millions more live in the United States. No hypocrisy in that right?
There are no irish soldiers in scotland there should be no scottish soldiers either neither british i do not justify the killings of them and i love scotland may they rest in peace but remember it is a war
Ps the person you are laughing at is practically a household name in Glasgow and Belfast so watch yourself son.oohh andI'm not shiting be very careful about people as they still have big family's.
Padraig Murphy I bet you and I would be very good friends I'm a Protestant and I think you are no harm a Catholic and all that politics shite.would not come up that young boy pissed me off as he is practically laughing at my big friends uncle who was one of them boys it's bloody terrible hearing somebody can have at joke at their expense.even some hard core Republicans say that was a bad one but he ain't no hard core Republican he is a little boy.
@@cammyg6649 Britain isn't Ireland lmao. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, so they were in Ireland. Hence the name nothern IRELAND. Northern Britain is where I live and that's Scotland.
Wearing a uniform does not make killing legal. etc. Just because the Government says it is ok to put a uniform on and invade a country ,( their own) to kill people does not make it legal/ Murder is still murder/ If stupid people join the forces and then suffer with PTSD., as many do Then they should not have joined in the first place. If there were no men and women in the forces there would not be any wars.
