The volunteers on the left (from 1916) and right (from 1969) each hold a rifle, and the blanket man in the middle also appears to be holding a staff of some sort. Get in touch if you know exactly what it is, and if you can identify the Twinbrook street (Gardenmore Road?) where the mural was.

Here is a 1982 image of the Break Thatcher’s Back mural in Rockmore Road, Belfast, showing a blanket man with outstretched arms demanding “status now”, framed by a large “H” and surrounded by barbed wire, Tricolours, and the Starry Plough. In 1981, there was a Sean O’Casey quote on the left, rather than a lily and the year of the Easter Rising — 1916. “Free Belfast” in the top left.
