IBOA wishes to record special thanks to Mrs. Pam Brown who donated information on the 1946 Strike in Northern Ireland collated from comtemporary sources by her late husband J. D. Brown who was an Executive Committee member at the time. Mrs. Brown traveled down from Belfast especially to view the exhibition.
