The 10th Tennessee Infantry Regiment of Militia Volunteers.

Known as the “Bloody Tinth”, it was one of only two Irish Catholic regiments in the Confederate Army

The Regimental flag originally belonged to Company ‘D’ of the Tennessee State Militia. It was outlined in Kelly Green on a light green background. A gold harp, maroon trim with white lettering; above the harp, “Sons of Erin”; below the harp “Where glory await you”.

“They were engaged by five to one when charged on with pure steel, But Erin’s sons did loudly cry “We’ll die before we’ll kneel!”

Some images from Blueshirt rallies led by General Eoin O'Duffy.

Note the photo of the commemoration of the fallen Blueshirt Michael Patrick Lynch murdered on the 13th of August 1934 with the drums.

Note the interesting cover of Maurice Mannings book.

Our Heritage

This heritage to the race of kings:
Their children and their children's seed
Have wrought their prophecies in deed
Of terrible and splendid things.

The hands that fought, the hearts that broke
In old immortal tragedies,
These have not failed beneath the skies,
Their children's heads refuse the yoke.

And still their hands shall guard the sod
That holds their fathers' funeral urn,
Still shall their hearts volcanic burn
With anger of the Sons of God.

No alien sword shall earn as wage
The entail of their blood and tears,
No shameful price for peaceful years
Shall ever part this heritage.
