The History of the 36th (Ulster) Division

"The History of the 36th (Ulster) Division" by Cyril Falls is a record of the 36th Ulster Division in World War I. The book tells about when the division was made up of the Ulster Volunteer Force in 1914, trained for war, and fought in battles during World War I on the Western Front in France and Flanders. The main focus is on military events and the friendship between troops and their bravery facing terrible things in war. At the beginning of the book, the author talks about what happened before 1914 that led to the division forming. He describes how the Ulster Volunteer Force was started to protect the Protestant people of Ulster, and how the force changed into the 36th Division. Early on, the book shows how loyal and united the Ulster soldiers were, and how they got ready for war, as well as mentioning important people, like Sir Edward Carson.
