Source notes

Dating mismatch: the image itself is dated 31 December 1970 and bears NISC 13/9. The article caption reads “Psychological operations in Northern Ireland, December 1970—Home Office minute, 22 September 1969, enclosing a memo on the Northern Ireland information problem, TNA: CJ 4/4248”. These are recorded separately, without treating the 1969 date as the date of the displayed document.
