The recruite`s were almost wholly drawn up from sir Edward Carson`s, ulster volunteer force.
The original flag of the division , was plain red with the free edge ending in a swallow tail of two point`s. Later in the war in 1916 a distinctive badge was added to the flag. This was to be a red hand on a khaki shield which was placed in the centre of the flag.
To this day , having visited the national army museum in london and the ulster museum i was saddened to discover that there is no surviving flags.
MAY THESE BRAVE MEN
BE IN OUR HEART`S FOREVER
