WHY MEN OF IRELAND VOLUNTEERED TO FIGHT IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR
At the outbreak of war in August 1914 there were around 30,000 Irish men serving in the British Army. Those
serving overseas were recalled back to Britain and another 30,000 reservists were called up.
After the outbreak of the First World War, men flocked to recruiting stations in Ireland. Their motivations
were often the same as those who joined up in England, Scotland and Wales: a sense of duty, the belief that
the war was a just cause, a desire for adventure, the bonds of friendship and economic reasons.
Seventeen-year-old Tom Barry enlisted 'for no other reason than that I wanted to see what war was like, to get
a gun, to see new countries and to feel a grown man', whilst Wexford man James English calculated that his
family income would increase by over 150 per cent if he were to enlist.
Estimates of how many Irish men fought in the First World War vary, but it is now generally accepted that
around 200,000 soldiers from the island of Ireland served over the course of the war. The majority of them
would not be the professional soldiers and Territorials who fought in those first clashes in 1914, but volunteers.
THE EASTER RISING
Not all Irish men and women supported Britain's cause. This photograph shows a captured Irish rebel being
led away by British soldiers during the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin. On 24 April 1916, Easter Monday, Irish
republican rebels began an armed revolt to further the cause of Irish independence. Their insurrection did not
go as planned.
