To Retain Our Britishness

Four images of a new mural of the “Rathcoole Elite” unit (1st Batt., B. Coy) of the Red Hand Commando, complete with four masked men each bearing weapons. Founded in 1970, “To this day our principles remain the same: to protect the loyalist community, to retain our Britishness.”

    Is this mural and the one on the Derry Hill Street side of this building still there?

    I apologize if it’s annoying that I keep asking “is this mural still there?”, “is that mural still there?”.

    I’m coming to Northern Ireland in June, and I want to make sure that the murals I want to see are still there. Of course between now and June, lots of murals could be removed.

      Hello Sam – yes, both of the murals on the ends of the shop are still there (as of 8 days ago, at least!)
