I hope this History will be read, not only by those who served in the Division and their relatives and friends, but by all Irishmen.
Young men approaching manhood and young women approaching womanhood should read it, and ponder over the example their predecessors have set them. For all who read will realize that in the great struggle which convulsed Europe for more than four years the men of Ulster did not fail.
