A hooded gunman welcomes you to “loyalist Sandy Row, heartland of South Belfast Ulster Freedom Fighters. Quis separabit.” The wording is perhaps an imitation of Free Derry Corner.

Somewhat faded version of a mural (seen before in 1995) to 12 UDA ‘A’ battalion volunteers, headed by Brigadier John McMichael. Compared to the 1995 version, Harry Black and Raymie Elder have been added. (Samuel Curry will be added when the mural is repainted).

2001 image of the Sandy Row UDA funeral volley mural previously seen in 1997. The same “fuck Rangers” graffitist who sprayed the Sandy Row UFF ‘wings’ mural also got to this mural. “In proud memory of our fallen comrades. We forget them not – at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.”

2001 image of the masked volunteers previously seen in 1997 in Lower Stanfield Street. It is extremely unusual for a (republican) “hooded gunman” mural to survive to this date. We conjectured in the earlier post that the creation of the mural dates to the period between the ceasefires.
