    Thank you Ronan. Southern Unionists were not peripheral, but key proponents of the idea of British Empire. Their garrison-mentality shaped by the reality that they were a minority in a culturally-alien society inspired generations of British Army officers and equipped them psychologically to deal with colonial people who they both ruled and nurtured wherever they went. As you know, they provided many of the officers of the Irish Brigade in the Second World War; chips off Wilson's block. This community has largely disappeared.

    It was two ex British soldiers who fought in the first world war. Two of them were born in London. They never fought in 1916. Henry willison came from Longford he was ordered an Irish High ranked officer. Actually, he absolutely got shot dead 💀 on 1922.

    The two men were soldiers in the world I one 1914 to 1918. The battle sommelier, are from London but one of them lost the leg in France 🇫🇷? Field Marshall Henry Williamson was assassinated by two Londoners.
