GUEST,Keith A of Hertford	Help: The Foggy Dew: Sud el Bar? Huns? (137* d)	RE: The Foggy Dew (NOT Bachelor)	06 Sep 08
Minna says that Irishmen were "duped" into serving in WW1 Thompson says they volunteered for " an implied promise of home rule." I suggest they volunteered for the same reason as English, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish and Empire volunteers. That they believed in the cause. Is it not an insult to brave men to deny that they knew what they were fighting for? Or is there any evidence for that? Minna says they received little recognition from the british government. In what way did they receive less than the English, Scottish, Welsh etc. veterans? (Except that no monument was erected in Dublin after the war, but you can hardly blame British government for that.)
