C Company Roll Of Honour

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

This “C company, 1st Belfast battalion, Ulster Volunteer Force roll of honour” in Carnan Street, Belfast, uses WWI (USSF insignia, an image of soldiers on the battlefield, poppies, and a verse from In Flanders Fields) to commemorate 25 volunteers from the middle Shankill area. (For the first five, see also the plaque across the street.) The “Four Step” was a pub bombed in 1971 (see X02393).

Replaces the Greengairs Thistle FB mural – the band’s insignia is in the top right.
