This is a black-and-white, English-language, version of a ‘roll of honour’, with names in Celtic script, mural that would quickly be redone (see I gCuimhne Agus In Onóir). The graffiti underneath read Maggie Lured Hurd To Be A Turd. There is also graffiti on the low wall: “All the queens horses and [all the queens men] couldn’t catch the IRA in [London again]”. Kells Walk/Rossville Street, Derry
