Police Beat, Jul 1984

Cover Image Description: Children's drawing with red poppies growing in the grown, a cross like a grave marking, birds in the sky and the words "Sorry Mummy". Inside cover provides following details: "THE TRUE TRAGEDY BEHIND TERRORISM. Our front cover this month was painted by one little girl who illustrates to all, the tragedy of terrorism in Northern Ireland. Six year old Pamela Elliott, whose father Reserve Constable Trevor George Elliot was killed along with Constable Neville Gray in a landmine explosion at Carnlough on May 18th, made a card for her mother bearing the message on our front cover. Although too young to realise the full implications of her father's death, Pamela, seeing the sympathy cards arriving for the family sent one to her mother. A poignant reminder of the pain and suffering inflicted upon ordinary families in the Province. Mrs. Elliott kindly gave her permission for us to use the card as our front cover."
