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.
