Sons Of Ulster Flute Band

Extramural Activity2 Comments

The Sons Of Ulster (Fb)/UVF mural in Conway Walk is repainted (compare with 2006). The main wall adds some new names on the far left (Metcalfe and Balmer); the side wall is converted to an image of the 36th (Ulster) Division going over the top.

[UVF 1st (West Belfast) Brigade, A company, Platoon] No 5. Sons of Ulster f[lute] b[and]. Vol Noel Kinner, with Thomas (Tombo) Kinner and a dozen other names. See the 2006 for (limited) information.

“In times of need they Volunteered/Came forth to do the right/They never shirked nor faltered/In their noble, gallant fight.//A gratitude to one and all/To all of Ulster’s best/You will never be forgotten/In our hearts and thoughts you rest.”

Volunteer Andrew Cairns was killed by the UDA at the Boyne Square bonfire in 2000. Major Sinclair Johnston was shot dead by the British Army during a riot in St John’s Place in 1972. The mural commemorating them is in Wellington Green, Larne.

Carrickfergus UYM

Armed and hooded UFA volunteers in jeans protect Carrickfergus castle, beneath the shields of the four nations of the UK. The UDA and UFF flags bear the names of the areas within South East Antrim. Vandalised (with “fuck you”) compared to 2008. The Birches, Carrickfergus.

In 2014, the side-walls were updated in advance of a new mural on the main gable (which can be seen at Alain Miossec’s site). From left to right:

UVF Hooded gunmen from the 1st East Antrim battalion. “In dungeon deep I know what fate awaits me/Tied hand and food the foe have bound me fast/And in my haste I pray that God above me/Will grant this wish I know will be my last.” (From Here Lies A Soldier) “In proud and loving memory Vol. Jim McKee.”
