L/Bdr Keith Richards, Gunners Alan Ayrton, William Beck and Simon Evans of 16 Regiment, Royal Regiment of Artillery. On 16 December 1979, those Gunners were on mobile patrol on the Ballygawley Road near Dungannon when a terrorist landmine exploded killing all four.
On the very same day, a soldier from 2 Para, Pte Peter Grundy, was killed by a booby trapped bomb at Tullydonnell, near Forkhill, and to end this day of death, Mr James Fowler, an ex member of the UDR was murdered by terrorists as he was driving his mobile fish and chip van at Omagh, county Tyrone.
