The crest in the top left is of the “Cavehill Young Loyalists” who wrote on their website “The Cavehill Young Loyalists was formed on June 1999 in Westland, North Belfast by a group of young Protestants not willing to tolerate any more violence from the Irish Republican Movement, so they took up arms. Innocent Catholic families should have no fear of us as we attack legitimate Republican targets, but make no mistake we are in readiness, and fearless.” (archive.org). “Westland UFF 3rd batt K coy.”
