Dates back to at least 1987.
Shutting The Gates Of Derry
“West Belfast Brigade UDA C Company”. UDA/UDF/LPA/UFF mural on the Shankill. (For a similar quartet of names and explanation of “UDF”, see Sans Peur.)
The title “First Ulster Defence Assoc.” is an attempt to tie together the defenders of Derry in 1688 (300th anniversary) with the modern Ulster Defence Association. This is an early attempt to give the UDA historical roots, beyond the Shankill and Woodvale Defence Associations. To this end, the group would adopt Cú Chulaınn (beginning in 1992 – see the Visual History page) and (beginning in 2007 – see UDU-UFF-UDA) the 1893 Ulster Defence Union as ancestors.

Long Live M Stone
Four images of graffiti in Manor Street, Belfast, beginning with an encomium to Michael Stone, the UDA volunteer who (in 1988) had killed three mourners at the funerals of the IRA’s Gibraltar Three. The last two images show that Manor Street is cut in two, with a Protestant area to the south and a Catholic area to the north.
The fence in the second image is now a wall. “UFF” “UDA” “YCV” “UYM” “SSRUC” “Black bastards” “Kill all cops” “RUC keep out”
