Folio, mostly 4 pp (one double number). Fine copies.

It reports the Volunteer controversy with Redmond in detail. It was suppressed after the eleventh issue, which reports a promise of German support for Irish freedom given to Roger Casement in Berlin. It did not circulate outside Cork, and complete sets are rare. After the paper was suppressed, MacSwiney sold his books to pay the printer's bill. He died on hunger strike some six years later.

George VI Regular Army Long Service Good Conduct Medal Awarded to Serjeant Sidney Charles Royal Engineers Who Was Taken Prisoner of War at the Fall of Hong Kong and Killed When Being Transported to Japan on the SS Lisbon Maru which was Sunk by US Submarine USS Grouper in 1942, George VI Army Long Service Good Conduct medal with Regular Army bar, named in the correct style to “1862399 SJT S CHARLES R.E.” The medal is housed in its original forwarding box. Accompanying the medal is photocopied research and a copy of the book “The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru – Britain’s Forgotten Wartime Tragedy” by Tony Banham. Sidney Charles was born on 13th April 1900 in Gillingham, Kent. His civilian trade is listed as Shipwright. He enlisted in the Royal Engineers in at Chatham on 9th June 1922. He served with various units of the Royal Engineers before being posted to 40th Fortress Company Royal Engineers in Hong Kong. He was reported missing and prisoner of war of the Japanese on Christmas day 1941. Charles along with 1,815 other British and Canadian prisoners, taken at the fall of Hong Kong were loaded onto the transport ship SS Lisbon Maru, and was on its way to Japan when it was attacked and sunk by the US Submarine USS Grouper with the loss of over 800 passengers, it was stated that some prisoners were shot by Japanese soldiers as they tried to escape the sinking ship. The Japanese did not mark the ship detailing that Prisoners of War were being transported so allied submarines had no clue as to the cargo on board. The book accompanying this medal details the event, it tells the story of many of the prisoners struggles with the Japanese soldiers who had no intention in trying to help them at first, it states that Sidney Charles was one of those men who managed to escape the ship but was eventually overcome by the water, “As Royal Engineer Sergeant Sidney Charles, born in Gillingham Kent on 13th April 1900, drifted away from his companions, he must have eventually realised that he would never see his wife, Alice, whom he had married in 1931, and son, David again.”

The American Field Service was a group of American Volunteers who served overseas, mostly with the French Army, before America entered the war in 1917. The volunteers were mostly medical service and drove ambulances, transporting wounded men to behind the lines. At its height, the Field Service numbered 2,000 volunteers and operated not only on the Western Front in France but also in the battle areas of Italy, Greece, Serbia and Albania. The service attracted young volunteers from the American literati: college students, poets and writers including an eighteen-year-old Ernest Hemingway who used the experience as the basis of his novel A Farewell to Arms. The volunteers were expected to pay for their transportation to Europe and for their meals while there. The American Ambulance Field Service operated as an independent volunteer agency until America's entrance into the war in 1917 when it was absorbed by the American Army.
