Glosters Posted 13 March , 2007 Share Posted 13 March , 2007 Is this book only available locally? Steve I came across a booklet of songs from Ulster about WWI. Some very moving lyrics; Now when we charged that morning with a great and mighty yell Right through the German trenches how far I cannot tell I prepared myself for heaven but I marched right into hell Along with the Armagh Brigade I hear the booming thunder and the stutter of the guns I hear the angry screaming of Ulster's fallen sons In this bloody slaughterhouse of the Battle of the Somme Im dyin' with the Armagh Brigade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Curragh Posted 15 July , 2007 Share Posted 15 July , 2007 Hello Mark, What shops are selling this book? Do you know of any books on the Tyrone Volunteers? Cheers I picked up a copy of W J Canning's "A Wheen of Medals - the history of the 9th (Service) Bn. The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers (The Tyrones) in World War One" at the Somme Heritage Centre in Conlig yesterday - that sounds like it might be what you're after - it's a private printing from 2006 but is a pretty substantial work (384 pages). Let me know if you want me to check anything out. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi1912 Posted 15 July , 2007 Share Posted 15 July , 2007 I bought this book quite recently. Excellent, especially the photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Curragh Posted 16 July , 2007 Share Posted 16 July , 2007 The bookshop doesn't list it anymore, nor does Amazon so I've e-mailed the Union Jack shop to ask if they still have it. Please keep us up to date if there's any response Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmond7 Posted 21 August , 2007 Share Posted 21 August , 2007 Mark - any chance of scanning the book for any mention of 1. actions around 1st - 6th October 1918 in Belgium. 2. Any mention of a Samuel Meeke DoW 6th Oct. 1918 (buried Bandaghem). Just got a pic of him today. He was formerly Royal Irish Rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
