These include the impact of British press support for Edward Carson's Ulster Volunteers; the wartime and peacetime experiences of Somme soldiers; the impact of Dublin's Rising on northern republicans; and the role of the Boundary Commission in determining the nature of border communities. The fascinating lives of a number of individuals who were closely involved in these crucial events - including the Rev. J.B. Armour, the Rev. John Redmond and Lady Craigavon - are also explored.
