Here are two images of a mural from the bottom of the Falls Road (where the Garden Of Remembrance now is) showing a striding volunteer with raised rifle. The mural would later be modified to specify the unit as “D coy, 2nd batt, Belfast Brigade [IRA]” – see M00802.

Tricoloured quotations from James Connolly and Patrick Pearse below the image of a kneeling volunteer with RPG launcher: “The great appear great because we are on our knees – let us rise” and “As long as Ireland is unfree, the only [honourable] attitude for Irishmen and [Irish]women is an attitude of revolt.”
