On April 24, 2012, in Guest Writers, Max Markham, Nairac Investigation, Robert Nairac, by Max Markham

I am working with Wilfried Voss to establish some hard facts about the career of the late Captain Robert Nairac GC, Grenadier Guards. As regular readers of this blog will know, Captain Nairac, who was working undercover, was abducted, tortured and murdered by the Provisional IRA in May 1977.
