This is an entirely repainted and expanded mural listing the West Tyrone Roll Of Honour. The portrait of Bobby Sands that was originally included in Everyone, Republican Or Otherwise is gone, leaving only the quote from Sands (as shown in the second image). In his place on the right is a volunteer in a hat with a tricoloured band; on the left, the firing party of the previous mural is replaced by a volunteer with AK-47. The names in the roll of honour remain the same though they have been rewritten in a greater space.

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.

Chief sitting Bull with his back to the flag of the United States, with a lark (for the Irish struggle) and an eagle (for the Native American) and a border of the colours of humankind. Painted by Mo Chara on the wall of the (then) Ballymurphy Community Centre just off the Whiterock Road, Belfast. The wide shots show a small “Tıocfaıdh ár lá” and Tricolour to the right-hand side.
