The information board, second above, shows a gunman (and a piece of fencing) that have been replaced by a pair of small pieces, one on the wall, one on boards (painted by John Stewart) to Colonel Timothy Thomas Cyril “Tim” Collins, OBE, whose speech to troops on the eve of the Iraq invasion in 2003 is reproduced in part on the right: “There are some who are alive at this moment who will not be alive shortly. Those who do not wish to go on that journey, we will not send. As for the others, I expect you to rock their world. But if you are ferocious in battle, remember to be magnanimous in victory.” (More at WP.) The memorial garden and all of the other UDA panels remain, however – see UFF 4th Battalion.
Two other pieces in “phase 1” of “Communities Moving Forward Re-Imaging Programme” are Boxing Through The Ages and Past/Future (Lendrick St).
