This mural was originally intended to have two hooded gunmen firing a funeral volley (see X01436 for the draft), but because of protest by locals (see, e.g. NewsLetter) this was changed to two unmasked men, one of whom is clearly of the WWI era. Most of the mural refers to the modern UVF: the Nissen huts and towers are from Long Kesh, UVF members Robert Seymour, James Cordner, Joe Long, and Robert Bennett are listed on the left-hand side.
Carlingford Street, east Belfast. The “UVF 1st batt B. coy” graffiti is in Omeath Street.
