Story Abstract |
"Victor Barker lost his twelve-year-old son James in the bomb. James was one of the children who was on the day trip with Spanish students to Omagh from Buncrana. Victor and his family have since left Buncrana and Victor works as a solicitor in a town near Guildford in Surrey. I talk with Victor in his office at work. Victor has a photograph of James on his desk." Spencer, G. (2005; p.71) |
