Desmond7 Posted 6 September , 2004 Share Posted 6 September , 2004 Mark - what Memorial is this? Don't recognise it. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain mchenry Posted 6 September , 2004 Share Posted 6 September , 2004 Mark, Once again mate, disgusting damage from low life yobbos no doubt. Although on a smaller scale I saw some graffiti written on the Menin Gate on Friday whilst in Ypres with my folks. It makes me very angry. I would guarantee that if I was going for a walk in the "Wee hours" around the gate or the ramparts and saw these Yobbos doing this, they would soon be swimming in the moat! Such a shame. Best regards Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markinbelfast Posted 6 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 6 September , 2004 These are two different memorials...the cross of sacriface is in the middle of the city cem. The wall of names lists those Kia/dow in the city cem...the houses in the background are the Whiterock Road leading down to the Falls Road.

curranl Posted 6 September , 2004 Share Posted 6 September , 2004 Hello Mark, the desecration of memorials to the dead must surely be one of the worst forms of vandalism. These people are idiots and we seem to have more than our fair share of them, North and South. Regards, Liam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 6 September , 2004 Share Posted 6 September , 2004 A fair comment by Liam ... vandalism knows no borders. Mark - if one of the Memorials is in the West of the city would it contain a lot of names of men who would have joined, for example, the 6th Btn Connaught Rangers? I understand many of 'Wee Joe' Devlin's supporters joined that unit? Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
