This is the first dedicated mention of Tony Taylor (he is listed alongside other republican prisoners in RNU Supports The POWs), perhaps singled out because of his status as RNU spokesperson. Taylor was released under the conditions of the Good Friday agreement but jailed for three years in 2011 for possession of a rifle (BBC).

Kathleen Feeney

“In loving memory of Kathleen Feeney, shot dead 14th November 1973, aged 14 years. Erected by her family & friends from the Brandywell & surrounding area.” Feeney was killed during an IRA sniper attack on the British Army in Quarry Street and at the time the IRA denied that Feeney was hit by an IRA bullet. In 2005, however, it released a statement (CAIN) announcing that it had conducted an investigation and was reversing the claim.

… or “LCDA” for short. There’s no information about the group on-line, so it’s not clear if it is/was a predecessor to the UDA (as e.g. with the WDA) or the local battalion of the UDA. Feedback is welcomed.

On the columns are the names of volunteers Cecil McKnight, Lindsay Mooney, Ray Smallwoods, Gary Lynch, Ben Redfern, and William Campbell.

The Amnesty International symbol – a candle in barbed wire – is added to a thirtieth anniversary hunger strike mural in Melvin Road, Strabane. It’s not clear if there is any official connection. The rest of the image – a blanketman over the towers of Long Kesh – is the same as in murals in Derry and in Belfast.
