Victoria Cross recipient James Magennis was the only person from Northern Ireland awarded the VC for action during WWII (WP). Although the mural is in loyalist Tullycarnet, Magennis was a Catholic, born in west Belfast, though he later lived in Castlereagh.
A memorial to Magennis can be found in the grounds of City Hall (National Maritime Museum).
The mural replaces the Tullycarnet version of Eddie The Trooper (see Eddie’s Visual History page).
Previously: Edward Bingham, WWI VC recipient
