Three in a row in Mount Sion, Strabane. On the left, a single volunteer fires a funeral shot over a very faded saying of Pearse’s: “Life springs from death and from the graves of patriotic men and women spring living nations.” In the centre, another funeral volley over an INLA Roll Of Honour bearing the names Neil McMonagle, Colm McNutt, Pierce Moore, Patsy O’Hara, Kevin Lynch, Micky Devine, James McPhilemy. On the right, a masked INLA volunteer with Thompson sub-machine gun.
