Those incarcerated at any of the prisons during the troubles were encouraged to take up a past time or hobby. Many of the prisoners started to record their emotions for family, country and their cause. This booklet is prime example of loyalist poetry. It was written within the confines of the Maze Prison (Long Kesh), taken and then printed for sale. This book originally cost £1.50 with proceeds going the Loyalist Prisoners Of War (L.P.O.W.) an organisation set up for the loyalist prisoner’s welfare.

Label written by Bobby Foster, private collector.
