They did indeed and lets remember them too. The 1st ww was in some ways about Germany / Austro/Hungarian empire tramping on the rights of small on nations. At the time the call to arms went out all over Ireland to defend the rights of Belgium a small Catholic country. Those men put aside thier politicial dissagreements for a greater cause. We today could take a leaf out of thier book. There is more that unites us than divides us north and south of our beautiful Island. Faugh - A - Ballaugh

To simpletom englishman, Elizabeth couldn't suck enough cocks to save the commonwealth. London town was destined to be a 3rd world country, but they had arms....and faught the Irish.....I remember well we faught the black and tans to fight for liberty....our leader was killed for not delivering and the brits liked the killing in the next decades as it was to make money.

99% of people posting on here have any idea of what they are talking about, they just spout out the same old shit

@tate247 They decided they didnt like democracy and so decided undemocratic means were the order of the day. The Dublin heroes of 1916 were true democrats.

@NoSurrender92 It would be worth pointing out to you as an Englishman that the 10th and 16th Irish Southern Divisions had 200,000men. The UK govt. had just passed the Home Rule Act, and these men VOLUNTEERED to fight for a new Ireland with Home Rule within the UK. The UVF was formed expressly to rebel against that law & the National Volunteers was set up to defend the country against promised UVF insurrection. However both were united in the defence of the country at home and in the trenches

@strongarmofthepaw Yes the context is the great war & 1916. 200,000 Southerners went, 60,000 died. They are well remembered down here but somehow forgotten by Northern "loyalists". You lied that we prefer to rem terrorists. You also know all terrorists come from the sectarian North, where the probs with guns, safe houses collusion, &c are a BILLION times worse than any such problem you pretend we have in the ROI. Northerners love their gunmen. We in the ROI don't want your Provos or UVF &al.

[strongarmofthepaw]

@EamonnKee Monaghan and Dublin bombings - completely unjustifiable by any right thinking person,but do not mix the original UVF with the modern UVF as they are similar in name only. "Hobby horse" -.What of the IRA INLA- training camps in Southern Ireland,gun runners,pubs used for terrorist meetings,terrorists given safe houses,terrorists funded by ROI,Garda collusion,church collusion,arms caches etc.The ROI has plenty to answer for in modern times.The context here is 1916 and the Great War !

[EamonnKee]

@strongarmofthepaw I beg to differ. The 10th and 16th Divisions are of course remembered in the South. We also rem the murderous scum of the UVF who bombed Dublin and Monaghan so don't get up on any hobby horses about terrorists. UVF is a filthy word now due to dirty deeds carried out in its name. Murder Tri-angle, Shankill Butchers etc. etc. . Carson wud hate to see his organisation hi-jacked by murderous thugs. Its Northerners who remember terrorists - Murals of UVF IRA on every other wall.
