Lot 413 1994 (13 October) Combined Loyalist Military Command ceasefire statement signed by 'Gusty' Spence
12 by 8.5 in.
An important piece of historical ephemera. The printed statement read by Spence in October 1994 at Fernhill House announcing the cessation of hostilities by the Combined Loyalist Military Command (Ulster Defence Association, Ulster Volunteer Force and Red Hand Commandos) from midnight 13 October 1994. Possibly the most famous section of this speech is the compassionate apology which Spence extended "In all sincerity, we offer to the loved ones of all innocent victims over the past twenty five years, abject and true remorse. No amount of our words will compensate for the intolerable suffering they have undergone during conflict." Signed below "Augustus Andrew Spence". A pivotal moment in the peace process.
