Londonderry , Northern Ireland . The Bogside battle continues and now even the children of this riot-torn city are playing a part in the battle against the police... As one boy (on left) holds a just-made petrol bomb in his hand, two others prepare wicks to make more. This was just one of the many disturbing scenes in Derry today . The violence of the past few days has sparked off similar incidents in the capital city , Belfast , and other large towns in Ulster.14th August 1969 (KEYSTONE/United Archives / TopFoto/General)
