About this project<\/h3>\n

Two posters \u2013 one of Ulster\u2019s V.C. Winners and one of the famous James Princep Beadle painting of the 36th Ulster Division \u2013 have been supplied to schools across the nine counties of Ulster.<\/p>\n

Portrait images of the V.C winners were of poor quality and so a complete, stylistically consistent, set of illustrations was commission to show the men in full uniform. Working with an expert illustrator and a military historian, these are the most authentic depictions of the servicemen. The men themselves came from Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan, as well as the counties of present-day Northern Ireland. Some were born in England of Ulster parentage. A brief description is given of each man\u2019s place of birth, and of the act of bravery which caused them to be awarded the Victoria Cross.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1465920563987{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column]

The original painting currently resides in City Hall, Belfast.<\/p>\n
