The Great War

‘I am not an Ulsterman but yesterday, the 1st July, as I followed their amazing attack, I felt that I would rather be an Ulsterman than anything else in the world’

CAPTAIN Wilfrid Spender, 2nd July 1916

‘…Throughout the long years of struggle… the men of Ulster have proved how nobly they fight and die …’

King George V, 16th November 1918

‘Welcome home, Ulstermen! On sea, on land, and in the air your have fought for your King and country, and you have helped to secure the freedom of the world!

Let us not in this hour of victory forget those of your comrades who have made the supreme sacrafice. Ulster mourns them, but is proud of the glory and honour they have won for the Imperial Province!’

Edward Carson
