2011 Batt Belfast Comrades Corner Fallen Mural Terrace Troubles Bucky Mccullough
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant wall mural, located in the end corner of a terrace house in West Belfast, pays tribute to the fallen comrades of Lt Col William "Bucky" McCullough and the 2nd Battalion of the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) during the turbulent years of the Northern Irish Troubles (1968-1998). The mural, painted in 2011, is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in the conflict. Lt Col McCullough, a prominent figure in the UFF, was a highly respected and influential commander who lost his life during a gun battle with the Irish Republican Army (IRA) on the Springfield Road in 1992. His tragic death marked a turning point in the conflict, as it led to a significant decrease in violence and paved the way for peace negotiations. The mural features portraits of McCullough and several other fallen comrades, each surrounded by symbols of their military service and personal memories. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the artwork serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of these individuals and their commitment to their cause. The mural is a powerful reminder of the human cost of the Troubles and the importance of remembering those who lost their lives during this period of Northern Irish history. It stands as a symbol of resilience and hope, inspiring reflection and healing in the community it serves.
