Men hold flag remembering those Ulstermen who fought in the Great War at Apprentice Boys of Derry Lord Carson Memorial March
Each year the City of London Campsie Branch of the Apprentice Boys of Derry holds a march in memory of Lord Carson and to lay wreaths at the Cenotaph in memory of the 36th Ulster Division, formed after a meeting between Lord Kitchener and Sir Edward Carson from men who already had some military training (with 30,000 German rifles brought illegally into the country) in the Ulster Volunteer Force. By the time they were demobilised in 1919, the division had suffered 32,000 casualties and gained nine Victoria crosses and many other awards for gallantry. Recognised as one of the most effective fighting units of the war, it was badly let down by the lack of organisation and ineffective tactics of the British Army.
