Irish Emigrants and English Mobs / Letter from the Bishop of Limerick

1 p.; Printed

A leaflet with the text of a letter from Edward Thomas O’Dwyer, the Bishop of Limerick, to the editor of the ‘Munster News’ dated 10 November 1915. The text reads ‘the treatment which the poor Irish emigrant lads have received at Liverpool is enough to make any Irishman's blood boil with anger and indignation. What wrong have they done to deserve insults and outrage at the hands of a brutal English mob? They don't want to be forced into the English Army, and sent to fight English battles in some part of the world’.
