“I am not an Ulsterman but yesterday, the First of July, as I followed their amazing attack, I felt that I would rather be an Ulsterman than anything else in the world. My pen cannot describe adequately the hundreds of heroic acts I witnessed, the Ulster Volunteer Force, from which the Division was made, has won a name that equals any in history. Their devotion deserves the gratitude of the British empire.” Captain Wilfrid Spender MC Staff Officer, 36th (Ulster) Division who won his Military Cross at the Somme.
Remembering the brave men of the 36th (Ulster) Divison who fought on the Somme, particularly the 4 VCs from 1st July 1916. Capt Bell, Lt Cather, Pte McFadzean and Pte Quigg.
