          Verse transcribed by Frank McGuinness (Kilbeggan), Hut 31, Rath Camp:

          'Our Flag

          We raised it up - no foot shall back
          A step upon the forward track
          For tis not in the days of wrath
          When woe and darkness haunt our path
          It is not when the gallows tree
          Is decked with fruits of liberty -
          That we should bend the knee or pull
          Thee down 'Our homes beautiful'.

          Quote from Eamon de Valera transcribed by Robert Daly, Hut 14, Tintown No 3 Camp:

          'Soldiers of Liberty! Legion of the rearguard! Let not sorrow overwhelm you. Your efforts and the sacrifices if your dead comrades in this forlorn hope have saved the nations honour and kept open the road to independence.'

          Quote from George Washington, transcribed by Pat McCarthy, Hut No 14, Tintown No 3 Camp:

          'It is too probable that no plans we propose will be adopted. Perhaps another dreadful conflict is to be sustained. If, to please the people we offer, what we ourselves disapprover, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the event is in the hand of God.'
