Learn what was it like to be in the RUC during the Northern Ireland Troubles. Delve into the harrowing experiences of police officers stationed at Springfield Road Station, which was situated in the heartland of Republican terrorists in Belfast. This compelling narrative exposes the daily dangers faced by those who served there, where the threat of violence was so pervasive that a sign was erected inside the main entrance gates to remind officers not to stand behind them, as terrorists often fired 'blindly' at the gate area.
