Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Here are four images of another float in the March For Truth, this one on the issue of Shoot To Kill. In the second panel are six people shot in Lurgan in three incidents in November and December of 1982: Seamus Grew, Roddy Carroll, Michael Tighe, Gervaise McKerr, Sean Burns, Eugene Toman. These would be investigated by the Stalker Inquiry. The third panel shows the killings of (Celtic supporter) Thomas ‘Kidso’ Reilly in St Aidan’s (Private Ian Thain of the Light Infantry Regiment would serve two years for the killing) and of Sean Savage on Gibraltar.

Barbed wire divides the quadrants, with poppies providing an upper border and Ulster Banner and Union Flag below. In the top left is the A company mural from across the street. The bottom right reproduced (or at least is based on) an 1990s mural of the same name in Dover Place (lower Shankill) in Belfast. The other quadrants and centre contain images relating to the 36th (Ulster) Division and WWI. The two other images are from the low wall to the front right.

Two hooded gunmen with assault rifles crouch on one knee on either side of the clenched fist of the UFF. “North Down 2nd batt, D coy.”

The plaque reads, “In proud memory of Andrew McIlvenny, 1983-2001. Quis Separabit.” McIlvenny is unknown.
