About the Book

The appearance of this little book needs a word of explanation. While at the front with the Ulster Division, the late Captain A. P. I. Samuels, had kept a very complete record of events, and collected all the material available, with the object of being in a position, some day, to publish an account of the doings of the Division, and particularly of his own Battalion, the 11th Royal Irish Rifles (South Antrim Volunteers.) It has been willed, however, that he should not be spared to carry out his intention. Like so many of his gallant comrades he gave his life for his country, being killed in action on September 24th, 1916. His name is now on Ulster's Roll of Honour, among those whose death has brought unspeakable grief to thousands of our homes, and yet has filled the hearts of Ulstermen and women with pride, and bequeathed such renown to our Province as will last while it endures. His papers, and the materials he had gathered have naturally come into my hands, and I have endeavoured, though in a very small and inadequate manner, to carry out the purpose for which they were collected. This little book does not profess to be in any way a history of the Ulster Division, nor even of the 11th Batt. Royal Irish Rifles. Being compiled from the diary of Captain Samuels, supplemented by the records he was able to obtain, its scope is necessarily limited, and the story closes with the historic advance of the Ulster Division on the Somme at Thiepval on 1st July, 1916.
About the Author: Captain Arthur Purefoy Irwin Samuels, Royal Irish Rifles, was killed in action on September 24th, 1916. He was the only son of Mr. Arthur Warren Samuels, K.C., and was educated at St. Stephen's Green School and Trinity College. He was called to the Bar in 1910, and joined the North-West Circuit. On the outbreak of the war he at once joined the R.I. Rifles and was promoted Captain in February, 1915. He was wounded at the beginning of the Somme offensive, necessitating an operation; on recovery he rejoined his battalion and served continuously in the fighting line until fatally wounded on 23rd September.
