36th Division UVF Respect from the north east of England 🇬🇧. LEST WE FORGET

Such a waste of so many courageous men. The 36th Division was among the top fighting Divisions of the British Army and although they took their objective on July 1st, lack of success along line meant it could not be consolidated and they had to retire. If the Generals had saved the 36th and trained them as 'Storm Troopers' to fight in battle groups, they could have been a devastating force.

Fact: during the first joint attack by England, Ireland and northern Ireland the men of the 36th Ulster division were the only ones to make it to their objective which as you would expect was a German trench. They surprisingly cleared the trench very quickly despite the fact that they had less men than the Germans. But the english and Irish failed to take their objectives and so the 36th Ulster division lost their trench by the next day due to the fact that they were completely outnumbered.

Imao Zedong, The 36th charged the German lines before the British guns stopped firing. The others waited for the guns to stop, by which time the Germans realizing there was going to be an attack were able to set up their machine guns to deadly effect.

Imao Zedong, Fact:37 vcs came back to Ireland 9 of which were awarded to the 36 Ulster division. They were all very brave men including the men of the 10th and 16th Irish divisions. My Grandfather and his two sons were there as were my Mother's brothers who were Dubliners.

Fact, 5vcs were awarded to North and south Ireland in ww2. The Northern Irish man James mc Guinness was a Catholic from the lower Falls. Lest we forget. They were all very brave, 36th/10th/16th..

P.S. During the same war, there was no Northern Ireland. 😉 It was all just Irish Soldiers during the war.

I have Always Admired The Orange Loyalist ,From The Time I First Heard Of The Great Sons Of Ulster Marching To The Somme ,How Brave And Honorable Of These Great Men To Volunteer As Cannon Fodder For The Empire That Has Always Treated Them As Toilet Paper,Necessary But Disposable.It Must Sicken Them After All The Sacrifices ,Nare a Cabinet Position Comes There Way Nor Even A Visit From The Sitting Pm At Election Time, I Do Believe They Know They Have Been Had,And To The Majority Of The Empire They Are Just Orange Paddys,How Sour The Dose They Must Keep Swallowing While They March..

Jesus ! You know how to spin a yarn. lol The same could be said for any British regiment after any war. You certainly know how to skew the facts. But that'll be the seething sectarianism inside you.....given the fact you clicked and watched a British/Unionist/Loyalist vid, in order to leave a derogatory and thinly veiled sectarian comment. However....we've become accustomed to that from people of your ilk.
