|

On 1 September 1975, a few days after two Catholic civilians were shot dead a short distance way in Altnamackan, the South Armagh Republican Action Force claimed responsibility for a gun attack on Tullyvallen ] near ], County Armagh. The attack happened at about 10pm, when a group of Orangemen were holding a meeting inside.<ref name="lostlives">McKittrick, David. ''Lost Lives''. Mainstream Publishing, 1999. p.572</ref> A number of the Orangemen were members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and British Army and were armed. Two gunmen entered the hall and sprayed it with bullets while another stood outside and shot through a window.<ref name="lostlives"/> One of the Orangemen was an off-duty ] (RUC) officer. He returned fire with a pistol and believed he hit one of the attackers.<ref name="lostlives"/><ref>McKay, Susan. ''Northern Protestants: An unsettled people''. Blackstaff Press, 2005. p.190</ref> Five of the Orangemen, all civilians, were killed while seven others were wounded.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/othelem/chron/ch75.htm|title=CAIN: Chronology of the Conflict 1975|first=Dr Martin|last=Melaugh|website=cain.ulst.ac.uk|accessdate=25 May 2017}}</ref> The attackers planted a {{convert|2|lb|kg}} bomb outside the hall but it failed to detonate.<ref name="lostlives"/> A caller to the BBC claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was in retaliation for "the assassinations of fellow Catholics in Belfast".<ref>English, Richard. ''Armed Struggle: The history of the IRA''.
