Ken Whartons eagerly awaited new book chronicling the Northern Ireland troubles from the British soldiers perspective Kens latest book looks at the bloody period of 1973/4 & features many contributions from those who were there besides superb & painstaking research. Sir theyre taking the kids indoors was a cry heard by British soldiers who served on tours of Northern Irel&. It refers to the IRA tactic of warning the civilian population in Republican areas of the impending arrival of one of their gunmen. Clearly as witnessed by the number of civilian deaths among the Catholic population directly or indirectly at the hands of their protectors in the IRA they were not averse to killing or causing the deaths of Catholics. Once the jungle drums had warned mothers of the approaching death at the hands of the widow maker they would bring their offspring indoors & thus give the IRA the moral high ground of not shooting their own supporters. Once a soldier had called out these words to comrades the patrol would know that the angel of death was in the area never far away at the best of times. It would alert them to the fact that they had to be ready for something more lethal than the aimed bricks Molotov cocktails dead animals & dog excrement which the women of the Republican areas so charmingly saved for the optimum moment. It would herald the approach of a gunman or gunmen & the locals especially those who revelled in the prospect of shooting a Brit or adherents to the Provisionals line of killing a soldier a day would have their sadistic hatred sated for a day at least at the sight of British blood staining the streets. ...
