Comments:
The Derry Republican Graves Association has erected a series of individual oval-shaped plaques (described in this database) at the locations were IRA volunteers died. However, there are a number of locations, outside of 'republican areas', where it was not considered possible to place plaques. In these instances the IRA volunteers are listed on this monument at Rossville Street. "The project commenced on 28 May 2001."
