THE IRISH AT THE FRONT MICHAEL MacDONAGH INTRODUCTION BY ~MOND. MP THE IRISH AT THE FRONT THE IRISH AT THE FRONT By MICHAEL IVUcDONAGH Author of " Irish Life and Character" WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOHN REDMOND, M.P. HODDER AND STOUGHTON LONDON NEW YORK TORONTO 1916 PREFATORY NOTE THIS narrative of the more signal feats of the Irish Regiments in France, Flanders, and at the Dar danelles, is based on letters of regimental officers and men, interviews with wounded soldiers of the battalions, and those invalided home, and, also, in several cases, on the records compiled at the depots. The war is the greatest armed struggle that the world has ever seen, and when we think of the heroism and resolution shown in it, the trials and the suffer ings, the victories and the disasters, and then turn to the bald and trite official despatches, the dissimili tude of things, the contrast, is most abrupt and jarring. But so it is, and probably we must continue to rely upon the accounts given by the men in the fighting line for any real appreciation of the nature of the war. MICHAEL MAcDONAGH.

FOR VALOUR" 145 Stories of other V.C. s, including Michael O Loary, who LT pheld Ireland s Tradition of Gallantry A DAUNTLESS BATTLE LINE THE IRISH REGIMENTS AND THEIR WAR HONOURS IRELAND is represented in the fighting forces of the Empire by a regiment of Foot Guards, eight regiments of the Line, each of two Regular battalions, and with several linked battalions of the Special Reserve, or old " Militia, and many Service battalions raised for Kit chener s Army." Altogether, these various battalions of the Irish regiments number fifty-four. There are two Dragoon regiments and one regiment each of Hussars and Lancers. The Volunteer or Territorial system has not been extended to Ireland. Still, the country is not without representation in the Auxiliary Forces. She has raised two Yeomanry regiments, the South Irish Horse, and the North Irish Horse, and in England there are two predominantly Irish Territorial battalions, the London Irish Rifles (i8th Battalion of the London Regiment) and the Liverpool Irish (8th Battalion of the King s Liverpool " " Regiment), both of which have South Africa, 1900-02 as a battle honour. There are also tens of thousands of Irishmen in the English, Scottish, and Welsh regiments, the Artillery, the Engineers, the Army Medical Corps, as well as in the Royal Navy. The following are the Irish Infantry and Cavalry regi ments, with their badges and battle honours : IRISH GUARDS. In acknowledgment and commemoration of the brave and honourable part taken by the Irish troops in the Boer x THE IRISH AT THE FRONT War an Irish regiment of Foot Guards was added to the Brigade of Guards in 1900 by command of Queen Vic toria. Unlike the Scots Guards, which are largely Eng lish, the Irish Guards are almost exclusively Irish. Badges : the Cross of the Order of St. Patrick and the Shamrock. Recruiting area : all Ireland.

  • Irish Narratives: Liverpool in the 1930S

    Irish Narratives: Liverpool in the 1930S

    Irish narratives: Liverpool in the 1930s John Davies By the 1930s there had been a substantial Irish community in Liverpool for over a hundred years. Irish immigration into Liverpool grew steadily from the 1 790s and expanded rapidly with the onset of famine in Ireland in the 1840s. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, years of economic depression, there was a renewed wave of Irish migration to Britain in general, and to Liverpool in particular, as migration into the United States was choked off. Relations between the Irish community, largely Catholic and poor and unskilled, and the majority community had been notoriously difficult in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when the history of the city was scarred by incidents of sectarian violence.1 The increase in migration in the 1930s was accompanied by growing tension between the majority and the Irish community. This article seeks to explore how the majority community in Liverpool viewed the Irish, how these views were articulated and what ‘stories’ were commonly told about the Irish. In recent years sociologists and cultural historians, referring to such ‘stories’ as ‘discourses’ and ‘narratives’, have seen them as ‘providing models of social experi­ ence’ as well as attempts to shape and control opinions.2 1 F.

  • Migrants and the Media in Nineteenth-Century Liverpool Colin

    Migrants and the Media in Nineteenth-Century Liverpool Colin

    Migrants and the media in nineteenth-century Liverpool Colin G Pooley Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, Lancaster, LA1 4YQ [email protected] 1 Abstract Migration is a controversial topic in twenty-first century Britain, and similar debates were equally visible in the nineteenth century with ample evidence that migrants from Ireland and Europe faced stigmatization and discrimination in British cities. Today the media plays a major role in fuelling such debates, but little is known about the impact of newspaper reporting on public perceptions of migrants in the past. This paper focuses on the reporting of cases brought before the police courts in Liverpool in 1851, 1871 and 1891 and, through the use of nominal record linkage to census data, examines the extent and manner in which migrant origin was commented on in one major Liverpool newspaper. It is demonstrated that, perhaps surprisingly, this media outlet largely ignored migrant origin in its reporting, and thus was not a significant factor in shaping public perceptions of migrants in the city. Autobiographical note Colin G Pooley is Emeritus Professor of Social and Historical Geography at Lancaster University. His research focuses on societal change in Britain and continental Europe since the eighteenth century, with a specific emphasis on migration and mobility. He has published widely including Pooley C and Turnbull J (1998) Migration and mobility in Britain since the 18th century (London, UCL Press). 2 Migrants and the media in nineteenth-century Liverpool 1. Introduction: the context Migration, and the impact of immigrants on economy, society and culture, is a topic that twenty-first century global media frequently highlight.

    The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis

    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.
