1914
In September 1912 the Edward Carson Unionists signed up to a pledge that Ulster would plunge into war rather than budge one inch on the Home rule issue. The Ulster Volunteer Force was prepared, disciplined and ready to answer the Carson call. However the issue was resolved. When Britain called in their marker, as they called in many markers in years previous. Ulster men answered and paid their debt in full. Tens of thousands, men and boys from every street, Town, Village, and City. They were Ulster Volunteers. No conscription nor enforcement. They were asked would they do the Honours of Joining forces in the fields of Flanders France. From every street, Town, Village, and City from Ulster and as far away as Cork. Tens of thousands never returned, those men and boys, remain where they fell. What price they paid for their freedom? What price do they pay today?

The Victoria Cross
Some gave all and all gave Somme
How can we ever repay them
The 36th Ulster Division
They gave it all on the battlefields
What a courageous deicision
How Brave You What an Army
The no-ne else can deny
So many a one was wounded
How sad so many that died.


So alway's remember these Soldiers
Remember them with pride
Alway's, Alway's remember
For you and for me they died.
