The white cloth that disproved the army's claim of gunmen
This episode explores the events of August 1971 in Ballymurphy, where eleven people died over 48 hours. It examines the official narrative and the evidence that emerged decades later, challenging the initial claims of the British Army.
Event: Ballymurphy killings
Date: August 9-11, 1971
Location: Ballymurphy, West Belfast
Military Unit: First Battalion, Parachute Regiment
Operation: Operation Demetrius
- Operation Demetrius was launched on August 9, 1971, to intern suspected Provisional IRA members without trial, guided by intelligence later deemed flawed.
- The First Battalion, Parachute Regiment, was deployed to the Catholic nationalist estate of Ballymurphy, which bordered a British Army base.
- Father Hugh Mullan, a 38-year-old Catholic priest, was shot and killed while reportedly waving a white cloth as he approached a wounded man.
- Daniel Teggart's body was found with fourteen bullet wounds, most of which entered his back, despite the army's claim of returning fire against gunmen.
- The 1972 inquests into the deaths returned open verdicts, which neither confirmed innocence nor established culpability, leaving the official narrative unchallenged for decades.
