Title: I do wish we were not the “Ulster” Division but just the 36th’

Description: At first glance, Nugent seemed the ideal choice to command the Ulster Division. The scion of a prominent Protestant landowning family, this tough-minded professional soldier had proved his military capabilities during the Boer War, and had, crucially, trumpeted his impeccable unionist credentials with his involvement in the Ulster Volunteer Force. Nevertheless, his uncompromising personality and his disregard for domestic political sensitivities soon caused irreconcilable rifts within the Ulster Division and its supporters.
