Now That I’m Free
Anti-drugs board in the Markets, Belfast, covering all the bases: “Goodbye marijuana, cocaine and crack/I’ve finally got my life on track/I don’t need you, you don’t need me/I feel good now that I’m free.” “1 out of every 4 people who die sniffing solvents are first time sniffers!” “LSD can make you very confused and scared. Some people never recover from the experience of having ‘a trip’.”5 tabs can damage your body by poisoning your liver. They can also lead to coma and even death.” “Cannabis can make you paranoid, sick and forgetful. Some people end up not being able to stop using it.”

Our Revenge Will Be The Laughter Of Our Children
For the 25th anniversary of the 1981 hunger strike, portraits of the ten deceased strikers are placed between the watchtowers of Long Kesh on a Cromac Street tarp. The quote is widely attributed to Bobby Sands.

East Belfast Brigade Roll Of Honour
Tommy Herron, brigadier in East Belfast, heads the list of UDA volunteers on this Dee Street stone. Herron was kidnapped and killed in September 1973, perhaps by the UDA itself for Herron’s extortion and racketeering (Irish Times).

God, Give Us Men!
“Men whom the lusts of office do not kill/Men whom the spoils of office do not buy/Men who possess opinions and will/Men who love honour; men who cannot lie” – part of a poem by Josiah Gilbert Holland.
The men on the left of the mural are Captain James Craig (who fought in the Second Boer War before becoming a unionist leader, organiser of the the Ulster Volunteers, and first Prime Minister Of Northern Ireland) and Major Frederick Crawford, who fought in both Boer Wars and organised the Larne gunrunning.
The four others, listed both on the plaque in front of the mural and on the stone in the memorial garden (constructed in 2003) are UVF volunteers Robert Seymour, shot dead by the PIRA; James Cordner and Joseph Long, who were killed in a premature explosion, and Robert Bennett, killed by the British Army during a riot. (Seymour and Long are on the right of the mural.)
