British Army Patrol In Bandit Country Around Crossmaglen, County Armagh
Posters supporting Bobby Sands and other Irish Republican Army (IRA) terrorists during their 1980 hunger strike sit alongside a wanted poster for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on a wall in the village square of Crossmaglen, County Armagh, Northern Ireland, in September 1981. The region is known as 'Bandit Country' and the British Army is obliged to deploy its troops by helicopter to avoid attack by the IRA. (Photo by Bryn Colton/Getty Images)
