82nd Prince Regiment Volunteer Wales

When rebellion erupted and president Abraham Lincoln called for volunteers to restore the Union, many Irish-Americans around Boston answered his summons. Thomas Cass, former commander of an Irish American militia company, organized these civilian-soldiers into Massachusetts' first ethnic regiment. On May 12, 1861, the men, mostly laborers, were transported to Long Island in Boston Harbor to begin training at Camp Wightman. By the time the regiment returned to Boston to be mustered in as the Ninth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the rough citizens had become soldiers, holding themselves with military bearing and feeling pride at seeing their green Irish flag flutter next to the Stars and Stripes. While securing a reputations as a hard-fighting regiment, the Ninth Massachusetts also added its Irish Catholic identity to the Army of the Potomac. For the war's first Christmas, the Irishmen adorned their camps with evergreens and bedecked tents with wreaths and crosses. However, the Saint Patrick's Day festivities were the ones that the Boston Irishmen most anticipated. After an oration on Saint Patrick's life and the Irishmen's duties to both Ireland and the United States, the men were dismissed to receive whiskey rations and participate in various games. As the expiration of the Ninth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry's term of enlistment drew near, Bostonians turned out to receive their Irish regiment. Early on June 15, 1864, a throng of family, friends, and curious onlookers crowded around Worcester Depot as the train bearing the veterans of this regiment arrived in Boston. Daniel Macnamara wrote this book to commemorate the brave actions of his regiment and emphasize the loyaltyIrish-Americans demonstrated to their adopted country in its time of need.

In the early days of the First World War two volunteer Pals Battalions were raised in Bradford and this is their remarkable story. David Raw's account is based on memoris, letters, diaries, contemporary newspaper reports, official records and archives, and it is illustrated with many maps and previously unpublished photographs. He recaptures the heroism and stoical humor displayed by the Bradford Pals in the face of often terrible experiences, but he also recounts the tragedy, pain, suffering and grief that was the dark side of war.
