		Hundreds of thousands of young Irish Volunteers were sent off to the trenches to fight, misguided in the belief that Ireland would be peacefully granted Home Rule by their leader John Redmond.
		The famous "Castle Document", a forged note purporting that the leaders of the Volunteers were to be arrested by the British, the organisation disarmed, and Dublin to be occupied by the British Army was in fact a forgery and was "planted" on Eoin MacNeill.
		In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called.

	National Volunteers - Definition, explanation
		The National Volunteers is the name taken by the group of the Irish Volunteers that sided with Irish Parliamentary Party leader John Redmond after the group split in the wake of the question of the Volunteers' role in World War I.

		Secondly, he reminded the Irish Volunteers that when they returned after an expected short war at the end of 1915, they would be an armed army capable of confronting the outcome of the partition bill forced through by Sir Edward Carson, leader of the Ulster Unionists, as an ammendmment to the Home Rule Act.

		One met the joke oftenthat what the Irish were doing dare not be told because the facts would embarrass both the Belfast Government who wished the world to believe their people were in the war, and Mr de Valera who wanted the Southern Irish to believe they were out of it.
		Within that framework the volunteers could be lauded as heroes who made a significant contribution to the allied cause, a not to be forgotten Irish dimension of the anti-fascist struggle during the Second World War.

		The Volunteers of Grattan's time broke up without having consolidated their legislative victory, owing to their leaders' faith in the promises of English statesmen just as the Volunteers of our time were disorganised by the fact of their leaders trust in the promises of English statesmen.
		But we cannot see that the present leaders of the Irish Volunteers can at all be compared to the crowd of aristocratic, clerical and capitalist reactionaries who steered the Volunteers of '82 to their destruction.
		Irish traditions, Irish heroes, Irish martyrs for freedom, all, all were alien to them, and therefore their betrayal by their leaders was not in their eyes a national betrayal, but only an aristocratic defection in a struggle of two parties within the British Empire.

		Each chapter is a collection of war stories, some short and some long, which describe the services of Irish volunteers in almost every theatre of operations: since most of these stories end with a medal being awarded, it soon becomes clear that the Irish fought as bravely as any Allied soldiers.
		For one thing, Irish Volunteers in the Second World War does not really stand alone: it was written as a companion volume to another, similar work, Irish Men and Women in the Second World War, by the same author.
		As it stands, while Irish Volunteers in the Second World War is a success on its own limited terms, Doherty's work is ultimately not much more informative than a roll of names on a monument of stone.
