Ernie Elliott
Ernest "Ernie" Elliott (c. 1944 - 6 December 1972), nicknamed "Duke", was a Northern Irish loyalist activist and a leading member of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) during its early days. Unusually for the generally right-wing UDA, Elliott expressed admiration for socialism and communism, and frequently quoted the words of Che Guevara and Karl Marx. Elliott was eventually killed by a fellow UDA member following a drunken brawl, although his death was variously blamed on republicans and a rival faction within the UDA.
==Woodvale Defence Association==
A native of Leopold Street close to the Crumlin Road in the Woodvale area,〔David McKittrick et al, ''Lost Lives'', Mainstream Publishing, 2008, p. 300〕 a district of Belfast adjacent to the Shankill Road, Elliott was involved in the formation of the vigilante group the Woodvale Defence Association (WDA) in early 1971. He was appointed as lieutenant to the WDA's deputy leader Davy Fogel, a close drinking buddy.〔Henry McDonald & Jim Cusack, 'UDA: Inside the Heart of Loyalist Terror'', Penguin Ireland, 2004, p. 19〕 Elliott, a short but stockily built man, was a notorious "hard man" on the Shankill who was used to meting out physical violence.〔Peter Taylor, ''Loyalists'', Bloomsbury, 2000, p. 101〕 He became commander of the WDA (which retained an independent existence for a time despite its incorporation into the UDA) in 1972 while Charles Harding Smith was detained in London on gun-running charges, holding the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.〔
