Nearly finished my first tour aged 18 and West belfast has really taken the wind from my sails.

The whole Platoon at Fort Whiterock on the Springfield road.

Another platoon from our company patrols into our base. The lad just visible between the two guys on the left was killed by a bomb about a week after this picture was taken. Our only loss on that tour!
