The 1st of July, 1916, brought much sorrow to many people in Ulster, and it was a day that would always be remembered in that parish with pride and with sorrow. The feeling that came to one’s mind was that really no memorial could be worthy of the sacrifice that these men made because they gave all. But the memorial they had erected to their memory was indeed a very worthy one, and they had put it in a place of honour, a place of prominence. It was a memorial of which they and their children in the years to come would have no reason to be ashamed. It was now nearly seven years since the news came to them that the madness, which had processed the German people for many years, had assumed an acute form, and they were called upon to defend their homes and their liberty.
