[edit] Divisional Symbol
The red hand of Ulster is the wrong way round. The thumb should be on the right. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.143.112.171 (talk • contribs) 18:08, April 4, 2006 UTC (UTC)
- Royal Irish Rangers seems unequivocal. It should be a right hand - not a left hand - like the Counties of Northern Ireland. See also Red Hand of Ulster. I have turned it around. - Kittybrewster 22:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
List of Victoria Crosses
In the list of Victoria Crosses is listed as:
Private Robert Morrow, 1st Btn Royal Irish Fusiliers. Died 23 years old, April 26th 1915, Battle of Messines.
I think this is in error:
1) In 1915 the 1st Battalion of the Royal Irish Fusiliers wasn't part of the 36th (Ulster) Division. 2) The Battle of Messines was in June 1917. 3) Cyril Falls book, The History of the 36th Ulster Division shows no mention of Pte Morrow (see pages 313 - 316: Appendix 2, Victoria Cross sub-section)
In short I don't think that Pte Morrow was a member of the 36th (Ulster) Division.
Would be interested to hear, if otherwise.
