Two at either end of the rubric houses in Larne St, Ballymena: UDA emblem, signed “Pigeon”; UYM emblem, unsigned (seen previously in 2007).

Behind them in Alfred Street Place, a UDA board is revealed. It’s not known what the board on top of the UDA/UFF mural below was.

“Hillhall battalion, Lisburn. In memory Andrew Mason.”

The two small plaques are to Glen [Glenn] Clarke and “In memory of Andrew Mason (Macey) murdered 19th April 1987. Always remembered by his comrades of ‘C’ Coy – ‘B’ Battalion South Belfast Brigade UDA. Quis separabit.”

The large stone is to John McMichael, Raymond Smallwood[s], Jim Guiney, shot and killed by the INLA in Dunmurry, and Mason. “Sons of Ulster do not be anxious for we will never forget you as long as the sun shines and the wind blows and the rain falls and the rivers of Ulster flow to the sea. Always remembered by volunteers from Hillhall C Company.”

Hillhall Gardens, Lisburn.

Frederick Hugh Crawford was a British Army officer in the Boer wars, Ulster Unionist councillor, and architect of the Larne gun-running in 1914. The dates on the mural are 1913-1916 (rather than the war years 1914-1918) – if you can explain this please comment or get in touch. The flute band does not appear to have an on-line presence.
