Gun-running centenary event plan in pipeline
Plans are underway for a centennial celebration to be held at Sandy Bay to commemorate the 1914 gun-running event in Larne.
On the night of April 25, 1914, the SS Clyde Valley landed in Larne laden with rifles and ammunition from Germany for the Ulster Volunteer Force.
To mark the 100th anniversary of this historically significant event, a number of Somme societies have joined forces to form the Operation Lion Centenary Committee (the original exercise was carried out under the name Operation Lion).
