Can you help? BBC Northern Ireland is making a documentary about 'Bloody Friday'

BBC Northern Ireland is making a documentary about 'Bloody Friday'. On the 21st July 1972, 22 IRA bombs were detonated in the space of an hour, killing 9 people including two soldiers. Dvr Stephen Cooper was 19 and a member of the Royal Corp of Transport. He was from Leicester. Philip John Price was 27, married, and from Trelaw, in Rhonda Valley. Both Soldiers lost their lives while trying to clear the area.

BBC Northern Ireland are very keen to speak to anyone who knew these soldiers or can help trace their families, they are also looking for any other soldiers who served in Northern Ireland on this day in 1972.

If anyone has any information, then please contact Laura Burns – see full contact details below. Please note this is for research purposes ONLY at this stage, so by making contact this does not mean that you would have to do an on screen interview.
