Talk:National Volunteers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have removed the piece about the 1919-22 era. The National Volunteers as an organisation had nothing to do withthe waro f independence and absolutely nothing to do with the civil war. It should be remembered that they formed only a small minority of the Irish nationalist people who served in the British army in the first world War. While its truethat the free state recruited thousands of unemployed ex-servicmen in 1922, there is no indication that any significant number of them were former national volunteers.
