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.
