For the 40th anniversary of her death: “In loving memory of Martha Campbell, shot and killed Springhill Crescent 14th May 1972, aged 13. Loved by all who knew her.”
Campbell was the last person to die in the protracted gunfire that followed the bombing of Kelly’s Bar in Ballymurphy on the 13th. UVF gunmen are attributed the killing by McKittrick (186), but no one has officially taken responsibility for the death (WP). A tribute site exists on-line, which maintains that the bullet came from Henry Taggart rather than Springmartin.
