A red hand of Ulster flashes the “V for victory” sign and dances (in boots) on an Irish Tricolour with the word “scum” written across it. A Saltire and a Union flag complete the scene.
“The support of our people is obvious, in that we could not survive or increase our operations without it. With our support, our weaponry and the calibre of our volunteers and activists, we will win and are set firmly [on] the task of achieving victory.” With the lark as the ‘Spirit of freedom’ and a celebrating volunteer in the tri-colours. New Lodge Road, Belfast.
1991 image of Mandela Father Of Freedom (1988 | 1989) in Leeson Street, Belfast. The mural has faded somewhat and the words “Happy birthday, Comrade” in the lower left have been blackened out.
A short IRA roll of honour on Strabane Old Road, Gobnascale, Derry: James O’Hagan, Ciaran Fleming/Flemming, Willie Fleming/Flemming, and (scored out?) Gerry Logue.
A phoenix rises out of a Celtic cross wrapped in the Tricolour. “This monument was erected by the republican people of greater Ballymurphy in proud and loving memory of all those volunteers from the area who gave their lives in the fight for Irish freedom. Unveiled by Gerry Adams 12th May 1985. I ndil cuimhne [chuimhne] i gcónai ag na poblachtánaigh ón cheantar Barr Cluanai. Also in memory of the civilians who died at the hands of the British Army, RUC, UDR and loyalist extremists.”
Four in a row in Springhill Park, Strabane. (1) The ten deceased 1981 hunger strikers are shown on an H, but they have all had their eyes covered in blue paint. (2) You can kill the revolutionary but not the revolution (seen previously in Innisfree Gardens and also in 1981 in Rockdale St, Belfast and in Derry in 1981.) (3) Use arms when arms are needed. (4) A “West Tyrone command” roll of honour.
Two from the same wall in Springhill Park, Strabane. In the corner (“Rising sons of Ireland” flute band) a smiling face cheers up a the Sunburst flag. The other has a Tricolour on one side and an unfinished flag on the other.
