Belfast, Northern Ireland. 1986
This was taken in a particularly dodgy area in West Belfast. The alley was known for the 'kneecapping' ('punishment' shooting or beating) of local alleged criminals by the paramilitary group controlling the area. These soldiers are securing the area for the SOCO (Scene of Crime Officer) after another ruffian was given some rough justice the evening before. (Paul Crispin)
