Free Derry
Legenderry Raymond Gilmour
Raymond Gilmour was a member of (successively) the IRA, INLA, and again IRA who was an undercover agent for the RUC and became a supergrass in 1982. This stencil in London Road near the New Gate is perhaps caused by his complaint against the intelligence services (BBC).

Impunity
Line drawing in Derry by Carlos Latuff showing an army soldier, with “impunity” across his shoulders, taking aim at a blindfolded woman, representing martyrs’ families.
Latuff is a Brazilian political cartoonist (web site). This piece is outside the Free Museum of Derry. Just out of shot (to the right) is an actual bullet-hole from Bloody Sunday. He also added a drawing to Free Derry corner (M08306). On the same visit (July 2012), he worked in Belfast on a mural expressing solidarity between Palestinian and republican POWs and also did a line drawing on a café wall.

From North Antrim To Gettysburg
“From North Antrim To Gettysburg. ‘On this July morning my heart recalls the summer fields of hame, the townland of my mother, the sound and smells of the lower meadow. These memories I carry into battle between the drum beats of my heart.’ John McPherson, Confederate soldier, Gettysburg July 1st 1863. This mural marks the Trans-Atlantic heritage of our ancestors who set out from these fields, shores and townlands to establish a new life, and in doing so, helped create the United States of America.”

Time For Peace
A three-stone memorial to army soldiers in Tullycarnet, featuring a line from the gospel of John (“Greater love has no-one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” 15:13) and a song by Randall Wallace for the 2002 movie We Were Soldiers called ‘The Mansions of the Lord’: To fallen soldiers let us sing, where no rockets fly nor bullets wing, our broken brothers let us bring, to the mansions of the Lord. No more weeping, no more fight, no prayers pleading through the night, just divine embrace, eternal light, in the mansions of the Lord. Where no mothers cry and no children weep, we will stand and guard though the angels sleep, Oh through the ages safely keep, the mansions of the Lord.”
By Ross Wilson with support from the International Fund For Ireland (IFI)
The garden of reflection is in front of a mural reading “Time for peace. Invest in kids … not war!”. The image of a boy playing with a ball against a wall is based on a 1994 photograph by Crispin Rodwell. The slogan in the photograph, originally, was “Time for peace; time to go” but for publication, as here, the second part was cropped out.
