Sir,—‘On This Day’ in the last issue (HI 32.3, May/June 2024) discusses the British army ambush of IRA volunteers at Loughgall, where eight members of the IRA were shot dead. The short piece fails to mention Anthony Hughes, a civilian, who was shot dead by the SAS in the same incident, and his brother, who was also seriously wounded by SAS bullets.—Yours etc.,
ANTON O’REILLY
