The increase in the cost of living and the increased prices which the farmers was getting for his produce had been mainly instrumental in bringing about increased wages. The wages however are still very low. The usual daily wage current in 1913 were for men 2s to 3s 6d, for women 1s 6d to 3s. RESERVES CALLED UP IMMEDIATELY At the start of WW1 58,000 Irishmen were already enlisted in the British Regular Army or Navy – 21,000 serving regular soldiers, 18,000 reservists, 12,000 in the Special Reserve, 5,000 Naval ratings and 2,000 officers.

Captain Roderick Gallagher called for three cheers for the UVF, Captain William Smyth reciprocated by calling for three cheers for the National Volunteers. WHAT IN THE END WILL SETTLE THIS WAR? TRAINED MEN IT IS YOUR DUTY TO BECOME ONE Sir Edward Carson was reported to have said in September 1914 :-“Our duty is to the Empire first. There is no time to be lost, and a large number of volunteers throughout the country are now considering the best course to adopt, they cannot do better than study the speech of Sir Edward Carson…….”. One or two instances of refusal to volunteer for Kitchener’s Army in rural districts simply because the pay was considered insufficient, have recently come to light. The Strabane Weekly News continued “We would remind people that this is a most unpatriotic way of looking at the matter………. The Strabane Weekly News reported on 19 September 1914 of an official statement on the weekly separation allowances made to wives and children of soldiers on active service with Kitchener’s Army. “….in many instances the amount of income from all sources would be greater than the bread winner could earn at his ordinary employment…” In September 1914 Captain Ambrose St. Quintin Ricardo, DSO, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, was appointed commanding officer of the Tyrone Battalion, Ulster Division of Lord Kitchener’s army. On 26 September 1914 a report in the Strabane Weekly News stated that recruiting for the Donegal Battalion of the Ulster Division had been going well and a very good response had followed. In St. Johnston over 70 men had come forward, in Ballyarnett and Culmore 50, and 20 each in Mulroy and Donegal. The first contingent went into camp on Friday 2 October 1914. On 26 December it was reported that a great number of Lord Kitchener’s army, all of whom were connected to the Strabane UVF had arrived here to spend the Christmas holidays. The men had been granted leave for six days, after which they returned, and another portion were allowed leave for the New Year. The men appeared in excellent spirits and were delighted to be at home to spend the holidays with their friends and chums. Strabane Chronicle 8th August 1914 SINN FEIN OPPOSES IRISH PARTICIPATION IN THE WAR “Ireland is not at war with Germany. She has no quarrel with any Continental Power. England is at war with Germany, and Mr. Redmond has offered England the services of the National Volunteers to ‘defend Ireland’. What has Ireland to defend and whom has she to defend it against?” MEETINGS OF IRISH VOLUNTEERS (INV) IN SUPPORT OF WAR It was reported on 3 Oct 1914 that a meeting of INV in Strabane– It agreed with Mr Redmond; condemn the action of minority Provisional Committee.

    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • My “Brick Wall”
    My “Brick Wall” The search for my paternal great, great grandfather “William Flack, a Soldier”. By Dr Edmund (known as “Ted”) Flack. BEc., PhD., JP (Qual) My “Brick Wall” in the search for my paternal great great grandfather. In this report I set out the evidence gathered over the last 20 years in my search to identify my great great grandfather, William Flack, the father of Captain William “Billy” Flack. First, I reproduce a paternal pedigree showing my relationship with Billy Flack and his relationship with his father William Flack, and his mother, Elizabeth Flack, born about 1790 in Ireland. A separate report on the life of Captain William Flack born 1 April 1810 is available. For the purpose of clarity, I will refer to my Great Grandfather, Captain William Flack as “Billy”. 1 What do we know about Billy Flack’s parents? There are three pieces of documentary evidence that provide the basis for the search as follows: 1. The first is Billy Flack’s original enlistment documents created when he enlisted in the 63rd Regiment of Foot in Bailieborough, County Cavan, Ireland on 17th February 1831. In that document it records 782 Pte William Flack as 21 years old, born in “the Parish of Killan in or near the town of Balyburrow in the County of Cavan”. Note 1. It will noted that Billy Flack signed the document with his “X” mark, indicating that he could probably not read or write and that therefore the recruiting sergeant probably filled in the details by recording Billy Flack’s verbal answers to this questions about age and place of birth.
