Robert Dougan was commander of the UDA South Belfast Brigade and lived the Oranmore Drive (BelTel). He was killed by the IRA on February 10th, 1998 while sitting in a car outside Balmoral Textiles in Dunmurry, which led to a month-long expulsion of Sinn Féin from the talks (L.A. Times); two months later the Good Friday Agreement was signed. There had been attempts on his life in 1993 and 1994 (Irish Times).

… or “LCDA” for short. There’s no information about the group on-line, so it’s not clear if it is/was a predecessor to the UDA (as e.g. with the WDA) or the local battalion of the UDA. Feedback is welcomed.
On the columns are the names of volunteers Cecil McKnight, Lindsay Mooney, Ray Smallwoods, Gary Lynch, Ben Redfern, and William Campbell.

“It is our firm conviction that the vast majority of both religious communities long for peace, reconciliation and the chance to create a better future for their children.” UFF volunteers in the previous mural on this wall turn their back on violence and look towards Stormont for a political solution. The side wall is dedicated to the UDA’s Stephen “Benson” Kingsberry, who died from consuming tainted ecstasy (perhaps distributed by the UVF) – an early use of the poppy to commemorate a UDA (rather than a UVF) member.
