Excerpt from Great Irishmen in War and Politics

[When the present work was submitted for the approval of John Redmond, it was not anticipated that his name would be sadly included with those of great Irishmen who are gone. - F. L.]

The publication of this book must be of great value to our cause.

It has been extremely difficult to get people in this country to realise that the appeal which we made at the commencement of the War, to Irishmen, to join the Army, was not addressed only to Irishmen in Ireland herself, but to Irishmen everywhere, and the extraordinary history of the Tyneside Irish Brigade, which describes how five battalions of Irishmen were enrolled in a comparatively short space of time on the Tyneside, shows how magnificently our appeal was responded to by the Irishmen of Great Britain. The doings of the Tyneside Irishmen in the Field have reflected credit on the Irish race, and I am glad that in this book is written a permanent record of their devotion and heroism.
