What is recorded here
Lisburn Fun Run, 15th June 1988: five young soldiers played, ran and laughed before terrorists murdered them for being visible and human. A bronze plaque in Market Place still lists Winkler, Metcalfe, Green, Lambie and Clavey without softening the loss or turning joy into warning. Remember them as young men who enjoyed a Sunday, not as symbols for fear.
