About this deal

Frank Kitson was therefore negligent in creating the policy and the ministry of defence were negligent when allowing its implementation. The policy created the expectation that people working for the state would commit murder,” the papers say. That had sparked militant responses from people like Ian Paisley and they had turned up the heat and they had created by 1969 violence and inter-communal fighting. They targeted ordinary people in a deliberate attempt to persuade others to “repudiate the IRA”. As well as being immoral, Kitson’s approach failed. And unfortunately for ordinary people, it would continue to fail for at least another 20 years. Response to the film In 1902, Kitson again won 19 games for Brooklyn, compiling a 19-13 record with a 2.85 ERA in 32 games pitched. He ranked among the National League's leaders with 19 wins (eighth), 109 strikeouts (ninth), and 29 complete games (10th). [1] Detroit Tigers [ edit ] He improved in 1901, compiling a 19-11 record with a 2.98 ERA in 38 games pitched. He also led the National League with four saves. [1] On July 25, he pitched a one-hitter against Christy Mathewson and the New York Giants, and The Brookly Daily Eagle reported that Kitson's "speed, curves and command was perfect and the Giants were helpless in his hands." [6]

He added: “For us the victims are the priority and the victims remain the priority. There has to be adherence to that agreement. If people have new ideas to present they have to involve all of the parties, and above all the concerns of victims irrespective of who committed the atrocities. People must be held accountable”.

To place Bloody Sunday in its proper context, we also need to look at what British officials were up to elsewhere. In 1963, Frank Kitson’s former colleague Ian Henderson was deported from newly independent Kenya. He moved to Bahrain, bringing with him his experience as ‘chief torturer’. If it seems odd that a British policeman would be given such a job, it’s worth briefly reviewing the history of this island in the Gulf. Kitson, who is in his late 80s, rose to become commander in chief of UK land forces from 1982-85. He was in charge of military operations in Northern Ireland during the early 1970s. He has been named as a co-defendant in the legal action on the grounds that he and others used agents knowing, or should have known, that they would take part in criminal actions. The first record of Kitson's professional baseball career is in 1895 when he played for the Grand Rapids Gold Bugs in the Western League. He played in the Virginia League in 1896 and then in 1897 for the Burlington Colts of the Western Association. He compiled a 14–17 record for Burlington. [2] Baltimore and Brooklyn [ edit ] It is the first attempt to hold a senior army officer personally responsible for a death during the 30-year conflict. Brigadier Frank Kitson was commander of 39 Airportable Brigade from September 1970 to April 1972. He had been decorated for his service during the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya and the Malayan Emergency, in which thousands of local people had been killed while Britain tried to hold on to its Empire.

Kitson is a counterinsurgency expert who had served in Malaya, Kenya, Cyprus and the Oman before he was sent to Northern Ireland as the brigadier in charge of the 39 Brigade area which included Belfast, 1970-72. He set up the Mobile Reaction Force (MRF) which carried out the murder of a series of unarmed civilians in Belfast in the early 1970s. Kitson’s own pen has long since exposed him as a racist and anti-Catholic bigot. He committed perjury at the Saville Inquiry into Bloody Sunday (January 1972) on an industrial scale. Colonel Derek Wilford. Henry McDonald (27 April 2003). "Top Army officer 'handed over IRA files to Adair' ". The Guardian . Retrieved 8 July 2015. Indeed relations between the Catholic community and the Army had begun so well that some of the girls married British soldiers.

Journalist Anne Cadwallader also features in the documentary. She tries to understand the thinking behind the gang and the reason behind killing innocent people. Cadwallader explains that it came from Frank Kitson’s counter insurgency manual. Kitson was a “counterinsurgency theorist” and a commander in Belfast in the early 1970s. His theories come from the notion: Kitson was awarded the Military Cross on 1 January 1955 "in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Kenya, during the period 21st April to 20th October, 1954".

In 1962, Kitson married Elizabeth Spencer, whose father, Colonel Charles Spencer, was Colonel of the 12th Royal Lancers. Lady Kitson was appointed an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List of June 2015, for her work with the Army Families Federation. [35] They have three daughters: Catherine Alice, Rosemary Diana and Marion Ruth. [1] Selected bibliography [ edit ] Like the families of Kenya and Malaya, and of many other British colonies, we too are stepping into the legal arena that seeks to directly hold to account those individuals ultimately responsible for the murder of my father and hundreds of other people here through the policy of collusion. A policy also practiced and perfected decades beforehand in these countries”. Crane Conrad C.; Terrill, Andrew W.

These are civil proceedings for damages but their core value is to obtain truth and accountability for our clients as to the role of the British army and Frank Kitson in the counter-insurgency operation in the North of Ireland during the early part of the Conflict and the use of Loyalist paramilitary gangs to contain the Republican-Nationalist ‘threat’ through terror, manipulation of the Rule of Law, infiltration and subversion all core to the Kitson military of doctrine endorsed by the British army and the British government at the time”. the people over whom they dominate must be made to feel a moral inferiority and recognise that there’s nothing they can do against the powers who colonise them Poisoning the water

The British Army commander

Families are under no illusion about the collusive acts that claimed hundreds of lives throughout the conflict and for these families Kitson’s manuals undoubtedly set the entire framework of the time and for decades to follow ultimately leading to an unimaginable toll of human suffering and misery in which impunity was also systemic. One other factor was the arrived of Kitson and Kitson's career in the colonies had always been about counter-insurgency. He was, as I say in the book, 'the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time'. Elkins, Caroline (July / August 2005). "The Wrong Lesson." The Atlantic Archived from the original. "Our counterinsurgency efforts abroad are starting to resemble the British Empire's."
