Photograph of British army dismantling a barricade made of street paving slabs, 1969
There were many casualties of the sectarian violence in Belfast in September 1969. Lives were lost, hundreds were injured, property was destroyed, communities were divided, and childhoods were shattered. This photo captured a camera crew filming the British army dismantling a barricade made of street paving slabs, before rioting broke out. A traumatised little girl stands posed for the photographer.
