A Sensitive Topic: The Lifes Of British Officers Robert Nairac and Julian “Tony” Ball

On December 20, 2011, in Nairac Investigation, Robert Nairac, Wilfried F. Voss, by Wilfried F. Voss

I had been warned that my continued research on the person of British Captain Rober Nairac might cause criticism and threats, specifically from residents in the United Kingdom, and, as a matter of fact, I have already been through several rounds of such fruitless communications.

“Londonderry” Is Not Acceptable To The Irish Nationalist Community

On November 15, 2011, in Articles, Wilfried F. Voss, by Wilfried F. Voss

The Londonderry Air’ is a tune very widely known in Ireland and mainland UK. It was used as the tune for the famous Irish song ‘Danny Boy’. I know that Danny Boy is widely known in the north-east of the USA because of the Scots Irish and general Irish immigration there but I do not know whether ‘The Londonderry Air’ is familiar there. It is now sometimes called ‘The Derry Air’ because ‘Londonderry’ is not acceptable to the nationalist community.

Secret Hero: The Life and Mysterious Death of Captain Robert Nairac by John Parker

On November 11, 2011, in Biographies & Memoirs, Book Reviews, History, Nairac Literature, Nonfiction, Robert Nairac, by Wilfried F. Voss

The life and death of Captain Robert Nairac is one of the most compelling stories related to the Irish troubles, regardless of which side you’re on. That being said, it is a pity, that the author fails to live up to the vast potential of this particular topic, especially considering that he tried to glorify the memory of Captain Nairac – as the title implies.

Case Reopened: The Secret Life of British Captain Robert Nairac

On November 3, 2011, in Nairac Investigation, Robert Nairac, The Bleeding Hills, Wilfried F. Voss, by Wilfried F. Voss

My conclusion that Robert Nairac was gay is still a theory, and I am far from trying to cast a blame of any sort; my mere intention was to find an understanding of what was described as irrational behavior, a behavior that eventually led to the slaying of Captain Robert Nairac, a British officer with a bright future.

Helping To Bring Lasting Peace To Northern Ireland

On March 31, 2010, in Life in New England, Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Wilfried F. Voss

As part of ICF’s reconciliation program, 100 twelve-year olds from segregated Belfast neighborhoods have been selected each year to spend a one month summer holiday in the United States. Represented in equal numbers, these Protestant and Catholic children bear the scars of deep historical hatred. Hosted by American families, the youngsters take part in a wide range of activities, including a summer camp that uses team games to build trust and encourage cooperation.

Sunday Bloody Sunday – Beyond U2

On December 23, 2009, in It's all about music..., Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Wilfried F. Voss

January 30th marks an anniversary in recent Irish history that most people living outside of Ireland and the Northern Provinces recognize only through a famous U2 song, Sunday Bloody Sunday. Unfortunately, the song is still misinterpreted as a “rebel song.” Nothing could be further from the truth. The band was aware of the controversial nature of Sunday Bloody Sunday, that its lyrics might be misinterpreted as sectarian, and possibly jeopardize their personal lives.
