What is INF?

Irish National Foresters.  There is still a branch in Cookstown. I think they lease their premises to Mugsy (Mulligans Bar)
They still parade on St. Patricks day.

They had a club in Divis area back in the day, probably still have, My dad way back went to the St Patricks day parade in New York with them

My grandfather was in it back around the 1930's/40's in Loup, South Derry. I've never had anything to do with my AOH band nor do I know anyone who does.
