“In memory to all who fought and gave their lives.” This is the tribute to the Ulster Division at the Carrickfergus Rangers Supporters’ Club, citing the words of Wilfrid Spender “I am not an Ulsterman but yesterday, the First of July [1916], as I followed their amazing attack, I felt that I would rather be an Ulsterman than anything else in the world.” (For more of Spender’s tribute to the 36th Division, see I Am Not An Ulsterman.)
For the names and information of the nine VC recipients, see Victoria Crosses or Repaying Their Memory.
Also from the Club: a gallery of Rangers’ Managers in We Welcome The Chase | commemorative murals to the three Scottish soldiers in Highland Fusiliers and to the UDR in Some Gave All | various others from the laneway and courtyard in We Don’t Do Walking Away, and from inside and from the side patio in The Rangers That I Love.
