J. E. B. Stuart pictured on Ulster mural

Here's a mural I took a picture of in Belfast in 2007 ( I believe). JEB Stuart is pictured here, a cavalary general in the C. S. A. military.

Ulster audio recordings added to blog

We have gone ahead and added the various audio recordings we have put together over the last couple years to our blog. They are located at the top right-hand side beneath the spinning Northern Ireland flag. Just click to listen or you can click and save them to your computer. They're free for you to enjoy. More will be coming!

Ulster-Scots/Dixie flag

A Facebook friend of mine sent me this picture combining the Ulster nationalist flag and the Confederate flag of Dixie.

The 18th of December

Tomorrow is the 18th of December the actual date the Apprentice Boys closed the gates in 1688. The snow has been falling all last night and today and is lying pretty thick but the parade of the Broadway and Shankill Clubs will go ahead as planned. Both Clubs have the effigy's of Lundy made ready to set alight tomorrow night.

We may be having it bad,but nothing I'm sure to the experience of the Brave Thirteen who closed the gates on that winter day so long ago. We will remember them.

Flag display in Ulster pub

I added the picture of the flag display featuring the NI, UK, Confederate, Rhodesian and South African flags to the bottom of the SNN website.
