Description: Republican graffiti, Lenadoon Avenue, Suffolk, West Belfast, 1989. Originally painted in 1981. Extract from Patrick Galvin's poem, 'Letter to a British Soldier on Irish Soil'; 'When you came to this land/ You said you came to understand/ Soldier we're tired of your understanding/ Tired of British troops on our soil/ Tired of the knock upon the door/ Tired of the rifle-butt on the head/ Tired of the jails' (sic) and the beatings/ Tired of the deaths of old friends/ Tired of the tears and funerals -/Those endless endless funerals./Is this your understanding?'
