James McPhilemy

Killed in Action on 10 August 1988

James McPhilemy, aged 20, was part of a three-man INLA unit from
Strabane, County Tyrone. When the unit was preparing to attack a
British Army checkpoint in nearby Clady, he made himself vulnerable by
calling out to warn children in the area to get down. The British
soldiers opened fire and killed him.

A memorial to McPhilemy and another comrade was unveiled in Strabane
on 10 August 2003.
