Wanted Poster

"This item was bought from a market in Islington, London. The basement of one building was primarily used by dealers in militaria and a lot of the sellers had extreme right wing tendencies and sold mostly to like minded people. One day an ex-Yorkshire miner stalled out and he had some unusual left wing material. We got talking and he told me that his brother had been in the army in the 1970's and he had some momentos at home. When he was finishing his tour of duty in Northern Ireland back in the 1980's he had reached into an RUC filing cabinet and grabbed a load of printed material. This item came from that haul. The dealer did not have them on display but brought them in for me the following week. It is a wanted poster for Rose Dugdale, a former debutante who rebelled against her wealthy upbringing, becoming a volunteer in the militant Irish republican organisation, the Provisional Irish Republican Army "
