History of the Ulster Division
The 36th (Ulster) Division was formed in early to mid-August of 1914 originally as the Ulster Division with brigades 1, 2 & 3. On the 28th the division adopted the name of the 36th (Ulster) Division and the 3 brigades became the 107th, 108th, and 109th brigades. In July of 1915 they moved to Sussex where on the 27th Lord Kitchener inspected the division where he remarked "[This] Division of Ulstermen is the finest I have yet seen”.
From the 3rd to the 6th of October the Division moved to mainland Europe to join the fighting. Mostly centralized around the commune of Flesselles (~10 miles north of Arras,) and attached to the regular army 4th Division, they trained for, and experienced the familiarities of, Trench Warfare.
The Division moved towards Abbeville on the 21st of October to spend most of the winter of 1915-16 continuing training. On the 4th of November 1915, 107th Brigade was attached to 4th Division while the 12th Brigade filled in for them and they stayed there until the 3rd of February 1916
On the 7th of February the Division finally over a section of the front line stretching from the River Ancre and the Mailly-Maillet to Serre road. HQ was at Acheux. In the first week of March, the Division extended its front, the 109th Brigade taking over the sector south of the Ancre, known by the name of Thiepval Wood. In the first week of March the 109th Brigade took over Thiepval Wood, a sector south of the Ancre.
On the 1st of July 1916 the battle of the Somme started, and the Ulster division was one of the few divisions of X Corps to have achieved all objectives and made significant gains on the first day attacking a position known as the Schwaben Redoubt between the Ancre and Thiepval. By day two 5,500 officers and enlisted men were reported to be either killed, wounded or missing. Philip Gibbs (war correspondent) said of the Division, “Their attack was one of the finest displays of human courage in the world.” Ulster Division soldiers received 4 of the 9 Victoria Crosses given to British forces in the battle.
Some attribute the increased courage and morale from the coinciding of the 1st of July being the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne. Where stories are told of men wearing orange sashes during their charge towards the German entrenchments.
The 36th (Ulster) Division continued and was involved in The Battles of: Messines (where they captured Wytschaete), Saint Quentin Langemarck, Rosieres, Messines, Bailleul, Kemmel Ridge, Lys, Ypres, Courtrai, Cambrai, Ooteghem and the Final Advance in Flanders
On the 29th of June 1919 the division was disbanded with 32186 men less than it had started with.

I think this decal should be added to show how the division’s contributions during The Great War were important to the overall war effort and to raise awareness about their feats to people outside of Ulster.
