Ballyshannon Belcoo Bertincourt
by W. J. Canning
The history of the 11th Battalion The Royal
Inniskilling Fusiliers
(Donegal & Fermanagh Volunteers) in World War One.
Preface:
This account of the contribution made by the Eleventh Battalion The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers (Donegal and Fermanagh Volunteers) to the Great War, fills a gap in local records and military history. Bill Canning, a son of Donegal, gives a discerning insight into the Battalion from its inception in 1914 through until it's disbandment in 1918. The courage displayed by these men and the ensuing loss of life bring to mind once again the pity of war. The reader can identify with the individual soldier in each stage of preparation for battle, can grieve of young lives snuffed out and can feel the pain of so many families who learned that their menfolk would not come home. The author has completed this work as a memorial to brave men. Let us humbly remember them.
