53
years ago

13 October 1971,

The British army destroyed the secondary roads linking Northern and Southern Ireland on the pretext of preventing the IRA from transporting weapons to the north. The Irish in the area, because of their inconvenience, filled many holes in the soldiers so that they could reuse the roads.
