TRIBUTE TO THE LATE SUB OFFICER 

Wesley Orr BEM

This page is dedicated to the Late Sub Officer Wesley Orr BEM who was killed in the execution of his duty on the 16th November 1978 attending a Terrorist explosion on the Glen Road Belfast.

Lest we forget fond memories.

Sub Officer Orr BEM was the Officer in charge of a Fire after a bomb explosion at a brewery on the Glen Road in Belfast. After fire fighting media was set up Sub Officer Orr entered the building along with his BA team when a second no warning device exploded killing Wesley. Several Firemen were injured in the blast.

Lisburn fire crews were in the front line attending all terrorist related incidents on the station ground also backing up other over stretched stations in the Greater Belfast Area during the so called troubles.

We paid the ultimate price for doing our duty

"Never was so much owed by so many to so few"
