PPCLI Posted 6 October , 2005 Share Posted 6 October , 2005 Found the photo below in our local newspaper of the time. If anyone would like a higher resolution version for their records please get in touch with an email address. Also, if there is any further information on the bombing it would be good to hear from you. Although I do not have them to hand at the moment, I will be able (at some point in the future) to get copies of the article reporting her death and a subsequent piece (poem) that was written about her on her death (and published below the photo).
