No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in retrieval system, or transmitted in any form, by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording or otherwise, without the express permission of the publisher. Published by the Ulster History Circle ULSTER HISTORY CIRCLE ® ANNUAL REPORT 2007 - 2008 Introduction The Ulster History Circle is a small, voluntary, not for profit organisation that places commemorative plaques in public places, in towns and villages all over Ulster, in honour of men and women who have contributed to the Province's history. The Circle is recognised as a Charity by HM Revenue and Customs. The Circle was formed in the 1980s to fill what was believed to be a gap in the celebration of our history - the kind of history that all can share. The Constitution is set out in Appendix 4. The work is entirely voluntary and we have no earning capacity or trust funds of any kind. Unlike similar bodies in the rest of the United Kingdom, who receive generous government grants, we depend on Local Authorities, individuals and businesses to fund individual plaques. The general rule is that a proposal to put up a plaque is not considered unless the person to be commemorated has been deceased for at least 20 years - less if the deceased person was born more than 100 years ago. As an integral part of its work to commemorate eminent people, the Circle has digitised the entire contents of the Dictionary of Ulster Biography, and it is now available on its own website.

He joined the old Unity Boys Club in Upper Parliament Street, Liverpool, before moving to the Kensington ABC. He sparred Terry Allen during the Second World War whilst both boxers served in the Middle East .When he left the service in 1947 he immediately turned pro. He had a total of 28 paid contests, winning 18 and losing only seven. The Ex- Liverpool pro Gerry McNally stated that a six-rounder between Billy and Billy Barton was the best fight he'd ever seen at the Stadium. After retiring Billy stayed in the game as first a trainer with his old Kensington club and later a manager. Amongst those he trained in their early careers were John Conteh and Harry Scott. Billy died after collapsing at a boxing show at the old Holiday Inn in 1985. the Liverpool Echo 16 February 1974.
