FIRST ANNIVERSARY. 1 SCuimne Ap. SEASAN MAC SIOLLA BRIGADE, MAJOR JOHN MACBRIDE, Vice-Commandant Irish Republican Army, Major in the Army of the South African Republic, Organizer of the Transvaal Irish Brigade, WHO DIED FOR IRELAND 5TH MAY, 1916. So n'Oeanfaid Oia Trocaine an a anam. "No man can claim authority to whittle down or barter away the immutable rights of nationhood; for Irishmen have fought, suffered, and died, through tco many centuries, in defence of those rights. And, thank God, Irishmen will always be found, in the darkest and dreariest nights that fall upon our country, to snatch up the torch from the slumbering fire, to hold it up aloft as a guiding light, and to hand it on, blazing afresh, to the succeeding generation." Major MacBride's address on the Manchester Martyrs November, 1914. So Saonfaid Oia Éine.
