Murray's Temperance True Blues L.O.L. 201

01/06/2026

The Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) was formed on 1 June 1922, taking over from the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) following the partition of Ireland.

Throughout its history, the officers of the RUC served at great personal risk. They and their families faced constant danger while working to protect all sides of the community from terrorist violence. The scale and intensity of the threat they confronted was unlike that faced by any other police force.

During the IRA’s armed campaign, 301 serving RUC officers were killed. In addition, 20 former RUC members and 11 former B Specials lost their lives. In total, 332 RUC personnel were killed and nearly 9,000 were injured in the line of duty.

In 2001, the RUC was collectively awarded the George Cross for its bravery and service during “the Troubles”.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten
