	The Irish Volunteers, Ireland, July 1914
		Formed to counter the growing trend to division by groups such as the Ulster Volunteers and to promote a free and independent Ireland the Irish volunteers were the forerunners of the IRA.

		The set shows a pair of volunteers in a mixture of civilian and military dress and a member of the women's arm in her distinctive military style uniform.

	Curragh Incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the spring of 1914, the Ulster Volunteers possessed three million rounds of ammunition and 25,000 rifles purchased in Germany plus 12,000-15,000 rifles already acquired.
		To deal with the potential threat of violence from the Ulster Volunteers should the Home Rule Bill be passed in the British Parliament, the commander of the Curragh base, Sir Arthur Paget, was ordered by the War Office in London in March 1914 to start preparations to march to Ulster should violence break out there.
		This followed the British government's decision to send 800 soldiers to Ulster to enforce the Act and to resupply depots in the province, which was thought necessary since the illegal importation of thousands of rifles from Imperial Germany by the Ulster Volunteer Force.

	Ulster Society - Ulster's Military History - Ulster's Defence Tradition
		ULSTER'S military history and tradition can be divided into two main strands: 'Imperial', encompassing the service of individual Ulsterman and Ulster units in the British Army throughout the world and Home Defence, referring to the defence of Ulster itself and the Ulster Protestant people, usually, but not exclusively, from the Irish Catholics and their allies.
		The conflict which englufed Ulster in 1689 - 90 was, as with 1641, triggered by upheavals in the wider spheres of British and European politics: the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the international attempts; ultimately successful, to curb the power, ambition and aggressions of King Louis XIV of France.
		The Ulster and Irish Protestants both responded to the French threat by establishing the militia, popularly known as the Volunteers, recruited from the middle classes and officered by the aristocracy.

	CAIN: Abstracts of Organisations - 'U'
		The Ulster Unionist Party was also known as the Official Unionist Party during the 1970s because of the fact that it represented the remnants of the Unionist Party which governed Northern Ireland at Stormont between 1921 and 1972.
		It was formed by a group of people who had been members of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and who supported Brian Faulkner after the proposals contained in the Sunningdale Agreement had been rejected by most of the members of the UUP.
		The UUUC supported the Ulster Workers Council (UWC) strike of May 1974 and this political backing, to a stoppage that was mainly being conducted by Loyalist paramilitary groups, helped secure the eventual success of the strike.
