On the 4th of July 1973 the Provisional I.R.A fired a R.P.G 7 at my foot patrol in the Creggan est Londonderry. It hit the wall above us and I was hit with shrapnel in the back of my leg virtually ending my army career. Not until thirty eight years later was this nose cap a memento of the attack given to me by an old platoon mate. A full account of this attack can be found in the book titled Bloody Belfast by author Ken Wharton along with many other soldiers stories.
