BOOK ON THE HONOURS AND MEDALS AWARDED TO THE RUC GC NOW ON SALE

摘要

Roy Black's definitive work covering the Honours and Medals awarded to the Royal Ulster Constabulary GC from its formation in 1922 to its incorporation into the Police Service of Northern Ireland in 2001 will be on sale from 2nd June. The book is being published by the Royal Ulster Constabulary GC Foundation. The Royal Ulster Constabulary GC is intrinsically linked to the turbulent history of Northern Ireland and will be judged by future generations as to the par it played in this history or the facts and how they are presented. One of the yardsticks available for this judgement will be the awards to the Constabulary for gallantry and distinguished service and the circumstances that merited such awards. It is the intention of this book to supply the facts and let the reader draw his or her own conclusions. Brian Rea CBE, Chairman RUC GC Foundation told the Gazette -"I congratulate Roy Black on the culmination of two decades of detailed research with the publication of this work. I am delighted that the Foundation has been able to publish the book on Roy's behalf and make it available to a wide audience. The book, and the stories recounted in it, underlines the service of individual members of the RUC GC and the honours rightfully bestowed upon them in recognition of that service."
