armourersergeant Posted 15 June , 2003 Share Posted 15 June , 2003 Have had a quick gander at your site and it is very good, interesting story of Patrick Emerson. Because of the Irish troubles it is often forgotten how many Irish men served in the war. Well done Ciaran Arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran Byrne Posted 15 June , 2003 Author Share Posted 15 June , 2003 This is true, it explodes the myth about Irish Nationalism in the early 20th Century. My uncle used to work with my two great uncles who fought in World War One and he said they would regularly get into fights with Irish Nationalists who would berate them for serving with the British Army.
