kaisersoffensive Posted 3 July , 2006 Share Posted 3 July , 2006 Hi Pal's, I've seen a painting of the 36th ulster Division going over the the top, does anyone know who painted it and where can I see it? Many thanks Soren Hello Soren I presume that you refer to the painting titled Charge of the Ulster Division by JP Beadle .It depicts the famous episode of the 36th Division.There is an officer encouraging men of the Royal irish rifles taking the second trench system.He has his hand up .He is Francis Bodenham Thornley.During the battle he was wounded while serving with "B" Company Royal Irish Rifles and while recuperating he was assigned to advise the arist. You may see a framed copy of this picture in a small antiques/militaria shop in Ringwood,Morgans Antiques.The proprietor kindly allowed me to have a Somme tribute window to bring people's attention to the events of July 1st and hopefully stimulate further interest in the WW1. Will dig out more details and contact you later. Regards, Bob Norman New Forest Framing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisersoffensive Posted 3 July , 2006 Share Posted 3 July , 2006 or was he home suffering from German measles? Hello Mark I certainly don't pretend to be any expert on the matter but only relate what I read somewhere. Obviously you have more accurate information. Ironical that it should be German measles!

Tom Tulloch-Marshall Posted 5 July , 2006 Share Posted 5 July , 2006 ".. I've seen a painting of the 36th ulster Division going over the the top, does anyone know who painted it and where can I see it? .." Soren - the original is currently on loan to the Historial de la Grande Guerre in Peronne (Somme) - it is being displayed alongside the WW1 Celtic Cross to the 16th (Irish) Division which was originally erected along the Guillemont to Ginchy road. The exhibit hall at Peronne where these two items have been placed is a bit "odd" by the normal standards of that museum (huge light spaces with relatively few exhibits in them) in that its a bit of a "black hole" - very dark / no natural light at all - which was a bit of a blow as I was there a few weeks ago specifically to get some photo's of the 16th Div Cross ....................... and the results are very gloomy indeed. I think both originals go back to Belfast / Islandbridge (respectively) this autumn, but dont quote me on that - check before you visit. regards - Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take on me Posted 12 July , 2006 Share Posted 12 July , 2006 I am sure that I have seen a painting much like the image in the banner above. It was at the Ulster Tower on the Somme. It was all there, the orange sashed Ulsterman firing a revolver and the German swinging a grenade. Although I think that it was all the other way around, I am sure that the Ulsterman was on the left hand side and the German on the right.

yoshi1912 Posted 17 July , 2006 Share Posted 17 July , 2006 Thats a good shot of a great banner. I always liked this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 17 July , 2006 Share Posted 17 July , 2006 Have to say I am not a great fan of the 'modern' picture. I have diffs with the German stahlhelms etc But for interest's sake, the original banner of the local LOL showing Captain O'Neill MP for Mid-Antrim and the first MP to be KIA in the war. This dates from 1917 when the local ULster Div. LOdge was formed. And the pic it was based on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
