East Belfast Brigade

The original version of the hooded UFF gunman, with pistol and quotation modelled on the Declaration Of Arbroath (“As long as one hundred of us remain alive …”), was painted on the Newtownards Road in 1994. In their places now is a list of the battalions of the East Belfast Brigade (in numerical order): Young Newton, Dee Street, Ballybeen, Castlereagh, and Tullycarnet, plus North Down (see Always A Little Further).

The second image, below, shows the gunman but not the right-hand side painted out (from a February 2017 post); the third image is from a 2015 post, when the “Bendy Gunman” was painted. Only the UFF fist now remains from that 2015 version.
