Remembering The heroic sacrifice of Sergeant Michael Willetts GC at Springfield Road Police Station, Belfast, on the 25th May 1971. At approximately 8:24pm, a Provisional IRA militant entered the reception area of Springfield Road RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary) station in Belfast. He carried a suitcase (sometimes described as a briefcase) containing a bomb with a visible, smoking fuse, placed it on the floor, and fled. Inside the reception hall were civilians; including a man, a woman, and two children, along with several police officers. One of the officers spotted the smoking device and raised the alarm. Police began evacuating people through the reception office and out a door into a rear passage. Sergeant Michael Willetts (3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment), aged 27 and on duty in the inner hall, heard the commotion. He sent an NCO upstairs to warn others, then moved to hold open the critical door, assisting the evacuation. He shielded the civilians and officers with his body as they passed, then stood in the doorway to provide further cover. The bomb detonated moments later with considerable force. Willetts was mortally wounded (reports note a piece of shrapnel or metal from a locker striking him in the back of the head). He died later that night (after about two hours in surgery at Royal Victoria Hospital). Seven RUC officers, two British soldiers, and 18 civilians were injured in the attack. Local youths reportedly jeered the injured as they were taken away. Posthumous George Cross citation (London Gazette, 21/22 June 1971): “His duty did not require him to enter the threatened area: his post was elsewhere. He knew well after 4 months’ service in Belfast, the peril of going towards a terrorist bomb but he did not hesitate to do so. ... By this considered act of bravery, he risked — and lost — his life for those of the adults and children. His selflessness, his courage are beyond praise.” Willetts was one of the early British soldiers killed during the Troubles (Operation Banner). He was born on 13th August 1943 in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire; he had joined the Army in 1962, served in the Parachute Regiment, and left a widow, Sandra, and two children. He is buried at St Mary’s Church, Blidworth, Nottinghamshire. The event inspired the 1972 song “Soldier” by Harvey Andrews. This remains a genuine act of bravery amid the escalating violence of 1971. Willetts’ George Cross underscores his selfless courage. We Will Remember #LestWeForget

It would be hard to find a worse candidate for council. DCM is a far-left socialist who profits off of the misery of drug addicts, pushes injection sites, and fights for dangerous park encampments. This approach has ruined Toronto. We’re doomed if we keep electing these people.
