Recto, [no inscription]; Verso, stamped on label: [star shape] / Credit: [copyright] 1982 / Henning / Christoph [name handwritten] / from BLACK STAR; stamped: [illeg.]; typed label: 7814//30A…Co. Armagh, NORTHERN IRELAND…Jan. 1982 / …Feelings run high along the border between Northern / Ireland and the Republic. A border sign “Welcome to / Northern Ireland” pasted over with a poster accusing / Margaret Thatcher of murdering and torturing Irish prisoners, / is a barometer of Republican sentiment in the area. Small / wonder that the “Third Force,” a Protestant paramilitary / organization dedicated to stomping out Republicans, enjoys / such support here. (Sign near Middletown); handwritten: 7814//30A
