“This plaque is dedicated to the memory of revolutionary republican socialist ‘Red’ Micky Doherty 1944-2003 founder member of the INLA and IRSP wounded on Bloody Sunday. Life springs from death, and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations – PH Pearse. Erected by his family, friends and comrades.”
This Ulster Volunteers/UVF board in Sperrin Park, Caw, Londonderry, includes familiar imagery from the Covenant to Long Kesh. The most unusual element is the inclusion of the Ulster Defence Union manifesto from St Patrick’s Day 1893 behind the hooded gunmen in the top right (for more on the UDU, see Bygone Days).
This is a mural of hooded UVF gunmen in front of a mural (or three murals) that are on the side of the shops at the top of Sperrin Park, the Caw, Londonderry (see Ulster Volunteers).
“When our forefathers fought and died, they led the way that we should go, as loyalists united we should stand, to send our message across the land, that all our enemies would know, Ulster is not for sale nor will we let it go. No surrender.”
“In proud memory of our fallen comrades from the Nelson Drive Flute Band. Glorious on the graves of heroes, kindly upon all those who have suffered for the cause. Thus will shine the dawn. They gave their tomorrow for our today.” “In loving memory of David Swanson, Geoffrey Freeman, Aubrey Reid, Mark Dodds, killed on active service 2nd October 1975. Lest we forget. Ulster Volunteer Force.” The four volunteers died when the car bomb they were carrying exploded prematurely.
