The Ulster Volunteer Force won't surrender... by National Library of Ireland on The Commons Via Flickr: Sir Edward Carson inspects a Browning Machine gun mounted on a motor car while members of the original UVF stand on parade. It is striking to see the machine gun mounted thus when we have become familiar with the images of military vehicles all over the world and especially in Africa seemingly festooned with such weapons! Sadly many of those who stood to attention in the background went on to die in the blood, mud and gore of the Somme just a few years later! Photographer: W. D. Hogan Collection: Hogan Wilson Collection Date: Not dated but circa 1913 - 1914 NLI Ref.: HOG240 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie
