Mountainview Tavern attack

On 5 April 1975 Irish republican paramilitary members killed a UDA volunteer and four Protestant civilians in a gun and bomb attack at the Mountainview Tavern on the Shankill Road, Belfast. The attack was claimed by the Republican Action Force believed to be a covername used by Provisional IRA (IRA) volunteers. The first British Soldiers to arrive on the scene were a patrol unit of the Royal Fusiliers, three of whom were teenagers in their first year of service.
