In these shows I see a re-occurring theme of 'I have this personality trait, and now I know I INHERITED THIS PERSONALITY TRAIT from so and so". This is an interesting topic that has solid backing with scientific studies. We can inherit personality traits, emotions, trauma, and general memory of how to survive in this world from the DNA of our parents. I remember an experiment where they took eggs from the cold north (where food was scarce) and the warm south (where food was plentiful) of the same species of bird and hatched them in a lab. They presented the birds with a simple food puzzle. The birds from the south (where food was plentiful) could not figure out the puzzle. The birds from the north (where food was scarce) were able to figure out the puzzle, implying they were born with a survival instinct belief that "You can find food, but you will often need to work for it".

your uncle was a hero... his friends fought and died for a United Ireland, anything less than that, then they died for nothing, that is why the IRA fought on, even after Britain left the south.

Why does that not surprise me given his political leanings. These things are handed down through the generations unfortunately.

Is that song, “ North And South Of The River” about the IRA ?

Not really, it’s about the entire Irish peace process, and the complex relationship between the Protestant and Catholic, Loyalist and Republicans, and the Republic and Norther Ireland itself. Competing goals, one island. 32 counties. It’s to complicated to say its “about the IRA.”

My uncle joined the free state army in 1922 to stop the wholesale destruction of our fledgling, independent, self governing country by insurgents against their own people.

@@geordiewishart1683A lot of IRA men who served in the Flying Columns and Active Service Units that fought the British during the Irish War of Independence 1919-1921 were veterans of WW1. In fact the most successful IRA Field Commander against the British was Tom Barry who had served with the Royal Field Artillery in WW1. By the age of 25 Barry was a veteran of the Great War,Irish War of Independence and Irish Civil War Some IRA men had been decorated for bravery in WW1 including Martin Doyle(Royal Munster Fusiliers) who was awarded both the Military Medal and the highest British medal for valour the Victoria Cross. Some IRA men had served with the US Army in WW1. At its height the most the IRA could put into the field was just 2,500-3,000 men. The British Army of Occupation and Crown Forces was in excess of 75,000. These "bog trotters" as you ignorantly refer to them as brought a world imperial power to the negotiation table. The IRA were military trend setters as their tactics were emulated and expanded upon in future wars of liberation,self determination,freedom, anti-colonial conflicts and independence struggles. Like all armies the IRA had members that had various job descriptions. The IRA in the cities were from an urban environment. With the exception of IRA veterans in the ranks the vast majority of the IRA had no military experience until the struggle for independence commenced. These Irish national enthusiasts defeated on numerous occasions British veterans of the Marne,Cambrai,Gallipoli,Somme, Passchendaele etc. If you are from Newcastle you should check out the Irish contribution to that city. The Tyneside Irish served with distinction at the Somme. Dont forget both Ant & Dec have Irish heritage!
