Covering the period from the Armistice to 1939, the book examines the experiences of Irish soldiers who had fought in the British Army in World War One after they had returned home to the part of Ireland that became the Irish Free State. At the onset of War, southern Irishmen volunteered in large numbers and marched off accompanied by cheering crowds and the promise of a heroes' welcome home. In 1916, whilst its soldiers fought in the British army, Ireland witnessed an insurrection, the Easter Rising, against British rule. It meant the soldiers returned to a much changed country, that no longer recognised their motives for fighting and which was at war with the country in whose army they had served. It has been long believed that the returning soldiers were subject to intimidation by the IRA, some killed as a retrospective punishment for their service with the Imperial power, and that they formed a marginalised group in Irish society. Using new sources this enlightening book argues otherwise and examines their successful integration into Irish society in the interwar years and the generous support given to them by the British Government. Far from being British loyalists, many served in the IRA and the Free State army, and became republican supporters.
