		The 36th (Ulster) Division’s was assigned a target that included a huge concrete bunker where German troops sheltered, the Schwaben Redoubt. The Division was one of the few that succeeded in gaining its objectives but the soldiers could not hold them due the failures of the other divisions.

		Although recruitment to the Ulster-based 6th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles was satisfactory, by the end of August 1914 the numbers joining the other two Ulster-based regiments, the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the Royal Irish Fusiliers, had not reached 20% of that required.

	10th (Irish) Division at Gallipoli - New Book - Great War Forum
		Prior to this the best we had was The 10th (Irish) Division at Gallipoli by Bryan Cooper, who was an officer with the 5th Connaught Rangers.
		I was interested to read that Jourdain claims that he spent much of the 10th and 11th of August going around the ravines and gullies "rooting out" men from the 6th Royal Irish Rifles who were demoralised after the mauling they had recieved in the previous two days.
		This is understandable as the majority of the Division landed there, but frustrating for someone like myself who is mainly interested in the 29th Brigade at Anzac.

	Ulster history - The 20th century
		When the unionist Ulster Volunteer Force smuggled rifles into Larne in 1914, and the nationalist Irish Volunteers smuggled a smaller shipment of rifles into a harbour near Dublin, Ulster seemed to be poised on the brink of civil war.
		These divisions all lost part of their original identities after heavy casualties in battles early in the war, particularly the 10th Division which fought at Suvla Bay in 1915.
		The Irish Volunteers (soon to be renamed the Irish Republican Army) started a violent campaign for independence in 1919, and the government responded in 1920 by recruiting British ex-servicemen (Auxiliaries and "Black and Tans") to join the RIC in the south.

	Royal Dublin Fusiliers
		The 10th and 16th Divisions were Irish Divisions and they were characterised by the presence of Pals battalions, raised not by the War Office but by local authorities, industrialists, or committees of private citizens, and composed of men from a particular city or district or from a common social and occupational background.
		Among the first of the New Army divisions to enter the field of battle were the 10th (Irish) Division at Suvla Bay on 6 and 7 August 1915.
		The effect of the slaughter of this division on the small, tightly-knit communities from which they had been formed can well be imagined (there are countless other examples to be set beside them), but has still to be properly evaluated.

		The club contained some players who possibly were employed in restricted occupations, most probably mining, and others who may have been married or older than the run of the mill volunteer.
		When war was declared in 1914 Lord Kitchener approached Lord Carson and persuaded him to enrol his small army of volunteers as part of the 'new army.' Carsons men went on to be the backbone of the 36th Division, and won several Victoria Crosses during the conflict.
		However it is little realised that Connely also attempted to put his men at the disposal of the British, with the hope that this would influence a future British government after the war when it once again considered the cause of Irish Home Rule.
