Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“In memory of Charles Moore, Frank McCarron, Michael McGinley, Bernard [“Barney”] Kelly, Charles McCafferty, who were killed in Annie’s Bar on the 20th December 1972.” The five were killed by two (allegedly) UDA gunmen as they watched soccer in the Top Of The Hill bar. For more, see Pat Finucane Centre.

Update: There were calls in 2017 for the investigation into the killings to be reopened (BBC-NI).

Seen previously in 2003.

“Pte William McFadzean, 36th (Ulster) Division (109 Brigade), 9th October 1895-1st July 1916, Age 20, Victoria Cross.” McFadzean earned the VC for throwing himself on some live grenades that had fallen into the trench. To the left and right are the emblems of the 36th Division and the Ulster Volunteer Force.

Bangor Ulster Young Militants

A UDA gunman welcomes you to the Kilcooley estate in Bangor. Ordinarily, the insignia of the Ulster Freedom Fighters would appear alongside those of the UDA and UYM, but in this mural, it is replaced by a map of the “home nations”; the Republic Of Ireland is presented in outline rather than by its flag.

Bangor Young Newton

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Young Newton is the Newtownards Road division of the Ulster Young Militants (UYM) and formerly a Tartan Gang. This mural, however, is in Kilcooley estate, Bangor, indicating the close connection between the UDA in the estate and in east Belfast. (For a 2018 update, see Ulster Defence Unions.)

See previously: Young Newton Says No (1989) and Young Newton on the Newtownards Road (2005).

There was previously a wall to the right that read “Freedom Corner II” – see J0475.
