Trade Review
'I cannot praise this work enough, it must form a great example for others to follow. I suggest that everyone gets a copy, particularly those interested in Ulster in the Great War.' (Bob Wyatt - Stand To! The Journal of the Western Front Association.) '...a worthy tribute to the men and 'boys' who answered Kitchener's call...' (Iain Frazer, grandson of Corporal David Frazer.) 'Blacker's Boys is a mighty achievement.' (Phillip Tardif author of The North Irish Horse in the Great War.)
