Board depicting the Gibraltar Three -- IRA members who were executed by the British Special Air Services in 1988 for allegedly planning a car bomb attack targeting British armed forces on Gibraltar. All three were unarmed when they were killed and no bomb was found in the vehicle they had been driving. They are buried in Milltown Cemetery, where their funeral was the site of a deadly attack by a loyalist paramilitary. Their execution was the subject of an inquest that ultimately went to the European Court of Human Rights, where the court found that the military operation that resulted in their deaths without their being charged or brought to trial was in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Peadar Whelan, our walking tour guide from Coiste, an organization of/for former IRA prisoners. At the rear of the Garden of Remembrance in the Falls Road is a monument in memory of the volunteers of D Company who died of natural causes. The mural behind shows a map of how the area looked at the time of the curfew of 1970, when dozens of little streets intersected throughout the area, making it possible for people to run through from one street to another when fleeing the police or the army. Soon after, the British government undertook "slum clearance" and knocked down swaths of housing, replacing it with council housing and a new street pattern of many dead ends without the through streets.
