BY CHRIS MOORE
JOHN Moore was a 19 year-old rifleman, newly arrived in Northern Ireland, when Bobby Sands started refusing food inside the Maze prison in March 1981.
Four months later Sands and another five of his fellow-Republican prisoners were dead, having starved to death on a hunger strike which would eventually claim the lives of ten inmates.
It would also be a shattering moment for John Moore; a crucible from which he would forge a poignant life-long link with Ireland.
