His actions are added to a score-sheet of IRA deaths, alongside the three in Gibraltar and eight in Loughgall. In the bottom image, “Enniskillen will be remembered”: Stone said one of his motivations was the Enniskillen bombing, in which the IRA killed eleven people.

“They fought then for the cause of Ulster, we will fight now.” The 75th anniversary of the Ulster Volunteers is celebrated in this mural in Dover Place, west Belfast. On the left of the Northern Island is an Ulster Volunteer in period (1912) garb standing on a patch of ground, on the right, a modern (1987) paramilitary in hood and fatigues standing on a city footpath. The Ulster Volunteers as such did not fight for Ulster – they instead joined the British Army and fought “for King and Empire” in WWI, after which Home Rule was applied only to 26 counties of Ireland and Northern Ireland was created and remained within the UK.
