THE FAMOUS SHIP THAT DOCKED AT LARNE HARBOUR 24TH APRIL 1914 WITH WEAPONS FOR THE PEOPLE,S ARMY
THE GUNRUNNERS
ON THE 23RD SEPTERMBER 1911 CARSON HAD INTRODUCED THE PLAN FOR A PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT IF THE HOME RULE BILL WAS TO BE FORCED UPON THE LOYAL PEOPLE OF IRELAND. THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT WAS CONSTITUTED IN SEPTEMBER 1913 WITH 1 MILLION POUNDS OF MONEY PROVIDED TO CARSONS MEN BY THE FRIENDS OF ULSTER BENEVOLENT FUND. IN JANUARY OF 1913 A BRAVE DECISION WAS TAKEN TO UNITE ALL THE VARIOUS LOYALISTS INTO ONE LARGE GROUP TO WITH THESES VOLUNTEERS TOOK THE NAME - ULSTER VOLUNTEER FORCE THE PEOPLE,S ARMY. MEMBERSHIP OF THIS NEW ARMY WAS TO BE CONFINED TO THE 100,000 MEN WHO HAD SIGNED THE COVERNANT. TOWARDS THE END OF 1913 THE OLD TOWN HALL IN BELFAST BECAME THE .U.V.F. HEADQUARTERS AND GENERAL SIR GEORGE RICHARD WAS ASSIGNED OVERALL COMMAND OF THE U.V.F. WHICH HAD TRANSFORMED ITSELF INTO A HIGHLY ORGANISED FORCE READY TO DEFEND ULSTER BUT NEEDED THE GUNS TO DO SO.
THE .U.V.F. NEEDED GUNS FOR ULSTER AND ITS DEFENCE AND ALTHOUGH A SMALL TRICKLE OF GUNS WERE IMPORTED FROM ENGLAND IT WOULD TAKE MANY YEARS TO ARM 100,000 ULSTER VOLUNTEERS.
THE ULSTER VOLUNTEERS NEEDED GUNS AND THE MAN PICKED TO ARM THE PEOPLES ARMY WAS MAJOR CRAWFORD.
CRAWFORD WAS OFTEN AT ODDS WITH THE ULSTER UNIONISTS COUNCIL AND ITS HEIRACHY BUT SOMETIMES IT APPEARED AS IF HE HAD A OBSESSION WITH ARMING THE ULSTER VOLUNTEER FORCE AND AS OUR HISTORY HAS TOLD US MAJOR CRAWFORD WAS A MAN OF HIS WORD AND ON THE 24TH APRIL 1914 CRAWFORD SAILED INTO LARNE HARBOUR ON THAT NOW FAMOUS SHIP THE CLYDE VALLEY WITH A ESTIMATED 24,600 RIFLES .
AS VOLUNTEERS TOOK CONTROL OF THERE LOCAL AREAS SETTING UP CHECK POINTS AND HELPING OTHER UNITS TO HAND THE GUNS OUT .
ALL OVER ULSTER THOUGHOUT MUST OF THE NIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING CARS CARRIED THESES WEAPONS TO EVERY TOWN ,VILLAGE AND CITY IN ULSTER.
WHEN THE WEST BELFAST VOLUNTEERS GOT THEIR WEAPONS THEY WERE QUICKLY STORED AT THE STABLES AT THE CUNNINGHAMS FERNHILL HOUSE ESTATE IN GLENCAIRN NOW THE PEOPLES ARMY WAS ARMED AND READY NO MORE WOULD THE BRITISH PRESS HAVE A LAUGH AT GROWN MEN MARCHING WITH WOODEN RIFLES THE PEOPLES ARMY WAS BORN!

KILLED AT THE SOMME 1st JULY 1916
RIFLEMAN AND VOLUNTEER BILLY MCFADZEAN OF THE ROYAL IRISH RIFLES WAS CARRYING A BOX OF GRENADES FORWARD EARLY ON THE MORNING OF 1ST JULY 1916 ON THE SOMME WHEN HE HEARD THE POP OF AN IGNITER CAP WITHIN THE BOX.

Private Billy McFadzean has been immortalised in song, which is still sung to this day in his Ulster homeland:
Let me tell you a story of honour and glory
Of a young Belfast soldier Billy McFadzean by name
For King and for Country Young Billy died bravely
And won the VC on the fields of the Somme
Chorus:
Gone Like the snowflake that melts on the river
Gone like the first rays of days early dawn
Like the foam from the fountain
Like the mist from the mountain
Young Billy McFadzean’s dear life has gone
Now Billy lies only were the red Flanders poppy
In wildest profusion paints the field of the brave
No piper recalling his deeds all forgotten
For Billy McFadzean has no known grave
Chorus Gone Like the snowflake that melts on the river
Gone like the first rays of days early dawn
Like the foam from the fountain
Like the mist from the mountain
Young Billy McFadzean’s dear life has gone
So let us remember that brave Ulster soldier
The VC he won the young life that he gave
For duty demanding his courage outstanding
Private Billy McFadzean of the U.V.FLEST WE FORGET !

VOLUNTEER . JAMES CROZIER
9th BATTALION ROYAL IRISH RIFLES
WEST BELFAST REGIMENT
James Crozier 80 Battenberg st Shankill road Belfast
SHOT AT DAWN
SUCRERIE CEMETERY , COLINCAMPS FRANCE
WHERE VOLUNTEER JAMES CROZIER IS BURIED HIS INSCRIPTION READS
"REMEMBERED WITH HONOUR"
VOLUNTEER JAMES CROZIER was a young ulsterman who had joined up in September 1914 against the wishes of his mother, there is some dispute over whether he was or was not under age. In January 1916 his unit, 9th Royal Irish Rifles, the west belfast volunteers was near Serre in a cold and wet winter. They went into the trenches at around 7pm on the 31st January and at 8.30pm Corporal Todd told Crozier to remain in his dugout as he would be going on sentry duty. At Crozier’s court martial Todd said that at 9pm he could not find Crozier and reported the fact to CSM Hill, who also searched but failed to find him.
At around 9am on the 4th February Crozier was seen wandering in the transport lines some 25 miles from the front with no cap badge and rifle etc and when he was challenged he said he was a deserter [WO 71/450]. He was then arrested. Both Babington and “Shot at Dawn” are incorrect in saying that he was in a field ambulance when he was found. Once again Putkowski & Sykes write in a way that gives a false impression of events. They have not used the documents in the PRO.
During his trial Crozier said that when in the trenches “I was feeling very ill with pains all over me. I do not remember what I did. I was dazed, I do not remember being warned for any duty. I cannot remember leaving the trenches even.” Under cross examination he was asked if, when feeling ill, there was any bombardment near him; “there were some rifle grenades bursting about ten yards from me.” He said that he was ill before going into the trenches and that it had got worse with the cold, but he had not reported sick.
After considering their verdict the court reviewed his previous record sheet, which was not particularly good, his character was shown as “Bad”, with two charges of absence against him, one from a working party and one from his billet.
It is an odd coincidence that James Crozier’s commanding officer had the same surname, he was Lt. Col. Frank Crozier and in his memoires he says that he had promised Crozier’s mother that he would look after her son. Frank Crozier was required by the Court Martial process to comment on the soldierly qualities of the young James which he did on the 15th Feb., it was damning;
“From a fighting point of view this soldier is of no value [my italics J Dillon]. His behaviour has been that of a ‘shirker’ for the past 3 months. He has been with the Expeditionary Force since 3/10/15.
I am firmly of the opinion that the crime was deliberately committed with the intention of avoiding duty in the Redan, more particularly as he absented himself shortly after the case of another soldier had been promulgated for a similar crime. The Officer Commanding the man’s company is of the same opinion. Sentence was remitted in the case mentioned to 2 years I.H.L.”
On the 16th February Brigadier General Withycombe commanding 107 Brigade added his comments to the court documents;
“I recommend that the extreme penalty in the case of Rifleman James Crozier be carried out. My reasons for this recommendation are that the case is one of deliberately avoiding duty in the trenches and as a deterrent to a repetition of offences of this nature - the discipline of the 9th R.I.R. is good for a service battalion.”
When the documents arrived at Division it was noted that Crozier had based part of his case on his medical condition and so it was decided that Crozier should have a medical examination. The examination was carried out by Lt. Col. Fawcett who found Crozier to be of sound health in ‘mind and body’. The C.O. of 36 Division then wrote that he concurred “in the opinion expressed by Brig. General Withycombe that the sentence should be carried out. There have been previous cases of desertion in the 107th Brigade.” On the 19th February it was agreed at Corps level that “in the interests of discipline the sentence, as awarded, should be carried out.”
The section in “Shot at Dawn” that relates to Crozier makes it seem that he was found wandering in a field hospital, in a daze and suffering pains throughout his body, that he was then given a medical examination where he was found fit and returned to his unit for court martial. That was not the sequence of events.
When the time came for the execution the battalion was paraded with a wall between themselves and the firing squad, they did not see the execution but they heard it. As was normal, the firing squad would have been consituted using men from his own battalion. Frank Crozier in his memoir says that “Death, despite all the precautions, was not instantaneous owing to nervousness, the firing party fired wide.” The officer commanding the firing party had to use his revolver and shoot James Crozier in the head.
Frank Crozier seems to express some regret for the event in his memoir, or at least a respect for the poor Rifleman; “He was no rotter deserving to die like that. He was merely fragile. He had volunteered to fight for his country ... at the dictates of his own young heart. He failed. And for that failure he was condemned to die - and he did at the hands of his friends, his brothers, with the approval of his church’.
IN WAR AND CONFLICT IN THE WORLD TODAY VOLUNTEER JAMES CROZIER WOULD HAVE BEEN SENT HOME TO RECOVER FROM SHELL SHOCK AND TREATED FOR POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.
James Templeton ref No WO71/454 ; of the 15th Bn, Royal Irish Rifles executed on Sunday 19th March 1916. of Enfield Street, In the woodvale area of the shankill road Belfast. James' date of enlistment was 10/10/14, he went to France with the Unit on 4th October 1915. There is no record of any problems with his conduct until 27th December 1915 when he was absent from the 3.30 pm parade, the punishment being 7 days FP No 1.On 20th January 1916 he disobeyed an order given by an NCO - punishment of 28 days FP No 1. On 29th January 1916 he was absent from parade at 2am and 8am - punishment 14 days FP No 1.On 18th February 1916 he was absented from parade - punishment 28 days FP No 1 given out on 20th February 1916.From the witness statements it appears the offence he was executed was for being missing from 9 pm on 20th February to 6 pm 21st February when he gave himself up to a Lt Corporal Robert Holdsworth. This does seem to suggest that he went missing at some time after being given the 28 days FP No1 punishment on that same day. Having given himself up on 21st February, he was again absent from parade on 22nd February 1916 - punishment 7 days FP No 1
In the PRO papers there is a statement by Major William B Ewast (??) who says that James 'no doubt left the front line deliberately but doubtless looked at this action as any of his previous ones and did not realise how serious an offence he was committing, no case of this nature having previously occurred in the Battalion or within the knowledge of the men'.In a statement by a Brigadier General Withycombe he says: ' I recommend that the extreme penalty in the case of No 15/890 Rifleman J. Templeton, 15th Batt. Royal Irish Rifles be carried out as a deterrent to other men committing a similar offence.' A statement dated 3rd March 1916 by a Major-General Commanding 36th Division goes on to say: ' As there have been recently 3 previous cases of desertion in the 15th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles for which the extreme penalty was not awarded, I concur in the opinion expressed by Brigadier-General Withycombe that the death sentence in the case of No. 15/890 Rifleman J.Templeton, 15th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles, be carried out as a deterrent to other men in this Unit.' This decision was made in spite of the fact that the earlier statement by Brig. Gen Withycombe to which the Major-General above was referring, stated that 'The discipline of the 15th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles is fair for a Service Battalion'. Why would they then find it necessary to execute 2 of their men (McCracken was also executed with James on that fateful Sunday morning) as a deterrent if the Battalion was not considered to have a problem with discipline?MAILLY-MAILLET COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION
JF McCRACKEN : Rifleman 15/13211 15th Bn., Royal Irish Rifles aged 19, executed on the 19th of March 1916.
As with James, McCracken's poor character was only evident recently and in a statement by Major Ewart (??) he says 'this man's character is lately poor, but I attribute this more to the fact that his mother died since he came to France, as,before this happened his crimes were of a very minor nature, and whilst in action, before his mother's death, I have no serious complaint to make about him.From notes on the front on McCrackens' papers by Julian Putkowski, he appears to have said he still felt unwell after some time in hospital.
