Lieut.-General Sir T. L. N. Morland, K.C.B., D.S.O., commanding the
Army Corps in which the Ulster Division was serving, has issued the
following order:--
The General Officer Commanding the Corps wishes to express to the
General Officer of the Division and all ranks his admiration of
the dash and gallantry with which the attack was carried out, and
which attained a large measure of success under very unfavourable
conditions. He regrets the heavy and unavoidable losses sustained,
and feels sure that after a period of rest the Division will be
ready to respond to any call made upon it.
G. WEBB,
Brigadier-General, D.A. and Q.M.G.
The General Officer Commanding the Ulster Division has issued the
following special order:--
The General Officer Commanding the Ulster Division desires that the
Division should know that in his opinion nothing finer has been
done in the war than the attack by the Ulster Division on July 1st.
The leading of the company officers, the discipline and courage
shown by all ranks of the Division will stand out in the future
history of the war as an example of what good troops, well led, are
capable of accomplishing. None but troops of the best quality could
have faced the fire which was brought to bear on them, and the
losses suffered during the advance. Nothing could have been finer
than the steadiness and discipline shown by every battalion, not
only in forming up outside its own trenches, but in advancing under
severe enfilading fire. The advance across the open to the German
line was carried out with the steadiness of a parade movement under
a fire from front and flanks which could only have been faced
by troops of the highest quality. The fact that the objects of
the attack on one side were not obtained is no reflection on the
battalions which were entrusted with the task. They did all that
men could do, and in common with every battalion in the Division,
showed the most conspicuous courage and devotion. On the other
side the Division carried out every portion of its allotted task
in spite of the heaviest losses. It captured nearly 600 prisoners,
and carried its advance triumphantly to the limits of the objective
laid down. There is nothing in the operations carried out by the
Ulster Division on July 1st that will not be a source of pride to
all Ulstermen. The Division has been highly tried, and has emerged
from the ordeal with unstained honour, having fulfilled in every
particular the great expectations formed of it. Tales of individual
and collective heroism on the part of officers and men come in
from every side, too numerous to mention, but all showing that the
standard of gallantry and devotion attained is one that may be
equalled but is never likely to be surpassed. The General Officer
Commanding the Division deeply regrets the heavy losses of officers
and men. He is proud beyond description, as every officer and man
in the Division may well be, of the magnificent example of sublime
courage and discipline which the Ulster Division has given to the
Army. Ulster has every reason to be proud of the men she has given
to the service of our country. Though many of our best men have
gone, the spirit which animated them remains in the Division, and
will never die.
The following orders of the day have been issued by General Sir George
Richardson, K.C.B., G.O.C., Ulster Volunteer Force:--
1. The General Officer Commanding wishes to take this opportunity
of recording an appreciation of the gallantry of the officers and
men of the Ulster Division. Perhaps it may serve as a solace to
those on whom will fall the heaviest burden of sorrow, and that
it will help to sustain them in the knowledge that duty was nobly
done, and that the great warm heart of Ulster goes out to them in
affectionate sympathy and takes an unfathomable and unforgettable
pride in every man of them.
2. Perhaps more especially the officers and men U.V.F. offer their
heartfelt sympathy to the relatives of those who fell on the 1st
July, 1916. They were put to the supreme test, and history will
claim its own record.
3. For those who fell in the service of their King, the Empire, and
the glory of Ulster, we mourn, but we have no regrets. We are proud
of our comrades. Our path of duty is clear. Every effort must be
made to fill up the casualties in the Division, and maintain the
glorious lead given by the brave men of Ulster.
4. The attack of this Division is already talked of outside the
Division as a superb example of what discipline, good leading and
magnificent spirit can make men capable of performing. Much was
expected of the Ulster Division, and nobly they have fulfilled
expectation.
5. I will quote from a letter received:--"There was never a sign
of falter. On the right two battalions of the 108th, the 109th and
the 107th swept over four successive lines of German trenches,
capturing nearly 600 prisoners and reaching the objective laid
down for them absolutely on the stroke of the hour fixed as the
time they might be expected to get there. On the left the 12th
Royal Irish Rifles made a magnificent effort, but were swept away
by machine-gun fire. They did all that men could do. The 9th Royal
Irish Rifles went to them, and succeeded in getting into the
German trenches, and were held up there by weight of munition and
machine-guns."
6. It fills me with pride to think how splendidly our men were
capable of performing.
7. On the 30th September, 1915, His Majesty the King was graciously
pleased to say to the Ulster Division:--"I am confident that in the
field you will nobly uphold the traditions of the fine regiments
whose name you bear." This mandate has been faithfully obeyed with
a heroism and devotion that will establish a rich record in the
annals of the British Army, and conveyed to us by the war cry of
Ulster--"No Surrender."
GEO. RICHARDSON,
Lt.-General, G.O.C., U.V.F.
Sir E. Carson has issued the following message to the Ulster people:--
I desire to express, on my own behalf and that of my colleagues
from Ulster, the pride and admiration with which we have learnt of
the unparalleled acts of heroism and bravery which were carried out
by the Ulster Division in the great offensive movement on July 1st.
From all accounts that we have received they have made the supreme
sacrifice for the Empire of which they were so proud, with a
courage, coolness, and determination, in the face of the most
trying difficulties, which has upheld the great tradition of the
British Army. Our feelings are, of course, mingled with sorrow and
sadness at the loss of so many men who were to us personal friends
and comrades; but we believe that the spirit of their race will at
a time of such grief and anxiety sustain those who mourn their loss
and set an example to others to follow in their footsteps.
His Grace the Lord Primate of All Ireland, who was in Dungannon holding
a visitation of the clergy of the rural deaneries of Dungannon, Aghalo,
and Tullyhogue, has given us the following message to the people of
Ulster:--
All Ireland is proud of the noble gallantry of the Ulster Division.
I have lived amongst these officers and men for the greater
part of my life, and I expected nothing else. They are of the
stock from which our heroes come and to whom our Empire owes so
much--unconquered and unconquerable.
To-day our hearts are bowed with woe for their relatives at home
who have been so grievously bereaved. For many years to come the
gallantry of these sons of Ulster will be an inspiration to fresh
generations of Irishmen.
I spent a considerable time with them last January in France,
and I can testify to their patience and pluck, as well as to
their chivalry and courtesy. Oh! the wild charge they made! Their
services for honour and truth, after they have passed on into the
near presence of God, will never be forgotten.
The Right Rev. Dr. D'Arcy, the Bishop of Down, in a message, says:--
The 1st of July will for all the future be remembered as the most
glorious in the annals of Ulster. Terrible indeed are the losses
sustained. Many of our noblest and best young men, to whom we
looked for help and leadership in the time to come, have given
their lives in the service of their country and for the welfare
of humanity. But our deep sorrow is permeated by the sense of the
joyful exultation at their splendid heroism. They have proved
themselves worthy of the grandest traditions of their race. They
have, indeed, surpassed all records of ancient chivalry. Wherever
Ulstermen go they will carry with them something of the glory
of the great achievement of the 1st July. The spirit of willing
sacrifice for the sake of those great ideals of liberty and
progressive humanity which belonged to all that is best in the
British race, and which has inspired Ulster throughout all her
recent struggles, was never more magnificently exhibited.
The Right Rev. Dr. Day, the Bishop of Clogher, writes:--
I most heartily join with the Lord Primate, the Bishop of Down and
others in offering my congratulations to the Ulster Division on
the record of their noble deeds at the front in taking a prominent
part in the great offensive which was begun on July 1st by the
united forces of France and England. While we regret the heavy roll
of casualties with which their great achievements were carried out,
and sincerely sympathise with the sorrowing relatives of those who
have fallen in the cause of their King and country, the "order of
the day" issued by General Nugent is a testimony to valour and
determination which may well rouse the admiration of everyone who
is associated with Ulster.
MAURICE CLOGHER.
The following paragraph, taken from the "News-Letter," July 12th, 1916,
shows how Belfast and the people of Ulster paid a tribute to their
glorious dead:--
"This year, for the first time in the history of the Orange Institution,
the celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne was
abandoned, while the customary holidays were to a great extent
postponed until next month, to enable the shipyards and munition works
to complete immediate orders. At the suggestion of the Lord Mayor,
all work, business and household, was temporarily suspended for five
minutes following the hour of noon to-day, as a tribute to the men who
have fallen in the great British offensive. Viewed from the City Hall,
on the steps of which the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress were standing,
the scene was most impressive. On the stroke of 12 all traffic came
to a standstill, men raised their hats, ladies bowed their heads, the
blinds in business and private houses were drawn, and flags were flown
at half-mast. The bells at the Assembly Hall tolled, and after the
interval of five minutes chimed the hymn 'Abide with Me.' Intercessory
services were held in the Cathedral and other churches. Shortly before
noon the following telegram was received by the Lord Mayor from Sir
Edward and Lady Carson:--'Our prayers and solemn thoughts will be with
you all at 12 o'clock, in memory of our illustrious dead, who have won
glory for the Empire and undying fame for Ulster. May God bless and
help their sorrowing families.'"

NOTE ON ST. RIQUIER.
(_Appendix I._)
A beautiful description of St. Riquier and the foundation of the Abbey
is given in a book by Margaret Stokes, "Three Months in the Forests of
France."
About the year 589, two Irishmen, named Caidox and Fricor,
disembarked on the coast at the little town of Quentovic, on the
mouth of the Somme, with twelve companions, and they followed the
great Roman road, now called the Chaussée Brunehaut, preaching the
Gospel on their way. They reached Centule (now St. Riquier), and
remained there some days to rest. Some say they came to France
with Columban, and that when Columban resumed his journey towards
the Vosges, he left behind him these two monks that they might
give instructions to the half-barbarous inhabitants, and initiate
them into the mysteries of the Christian religion. "They fought
on," said the old chronicler, "perceiving that the inhabitants of
Centule (St. Riquier) were blinded by error and iniquity, and were
subjected to the most cruel slavery; they laboured with all their
strength to redeem their souls, and wash them in the Saviour's
Blood." But the people could not understand the language of these
heavenly messengers, and they rebelled against a teaching so
holy and sublime. They demanded what these adventurers, who had
just escaped out of a barbarous island, could be in search of,
and by what right they sought to impose their laws on them. The
voice of charity was met by cries, menaces, and outrage, and the
natives strove to drive them from their shores by violence, when
suddenly a young noble, named Riquier, appeared upon the scene.
He commanded silence, and arrested the most furious amongst the
mob, and taking the two strangers under his protection, he brought
them into his house. He gave them food and drink, and in return
they gave him such nourishment of the soul as he before had never
tasted. He learned to know God and love Him beyond all things....
When he had taken orders he became the founder of the celebrated
Abbey of Centule (now St. Riquier), and the bodies of the two
Irishmen from whom he had learned Christianity were interred with
splendour in this church. When St. Angelbert, in the year 799,
restored this church, he also restored the half-ruined tombs,
decorated their shrines with such magnificence, and inscribed
verses upon them in letters of gold. The relics of the two saints
lay beneath the monument till the year 1070, when St. Geroinus
transferred them to a silver shrine adorned with precious stones,
and in this shrine also were laid the relics of another Irish
saint, Mauguille. Their festival is celebrated on June 3rd. On the
road from Abbeville to Doullens, on the edge of the wood of St.
Riquier, and below the slope of a smiling hill, an ancient church,
majestically seated in the valley below, comes into view. It is
the Abbey Church of St. Riquier. The town rises from the foot of
the church like an amphitheatre round the enclosure of its ancient
walls. The great tower rises above the fertile fields around and
above the summits of the distant hills and woodland glades. The
little stream of Seardon, which almost threatens to disappear at
its very source, passes through the lower town and on towards the
south-west. The old chroniclers called it Reviere au Cardons, from
the little flower cardoon. This little thread of water, rising at
Bonnefontaine, under Isinbard's tomb, is swelled by the junction
with the river Mirandeuil, or Misendeuil, a name derived from the
fact that it was at this spot the ladies of St. Riquier first heard
the fatal news that their husbands had fallen in the Battle of
Crecy.... The labours of the Irish Church in Picardy, commenced
by these two missionaries, Caidox and Fricor, and carried on by
the disciples of Columban from Luxeuil, were destined to receive
a fresh impetus from the parent country. Another mission, this
time from the shores of Lough Corrib, in Galway, was undertaken.
Fursa and his twelve companions, who landed at Mayoc, at the mouth
of the river Somme, A.D. 638, went up the river to St. Riquier,
a monastery in which he must have found traditions of his native
Church.
