Hibernian Rifles : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hibernian Rifles
The Hibernian Rifles was a marginal Irish nationalist militia that organised in Ireland in the early years of the 20th Century, having its Dublin Headquarters at 28, North Frederick Street. Its membership was exclusively Roman Catholic.〔O'Mahony pp 25-26〕 The Hibernian Rifles were active in Dublin during the Easter Rising of 1916. In an article in the ''Irish War News'', Patrick Pearse thanked the Hibernian Rifles for its contribution.〔Pat McGlynn, ''Éirí Amach na Cásca, The Easter Rising 1916'', Republican Publications, 1986.〕 ==Origins== The Hibernian Rifles was the product of a split in the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH); it was the military arm of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (Irish-American Alliance), which had broken away from Ancient Order of Hibernians (Board of Erin) in about 1907. As the name suggests, most of the former were in the USA where they were under the influence of Clan-na-Gael. The AOH (Irish-American Alliance) claimed to be opposed to "the narrow sectarianism" of the AOH (Board of Erin). In a characteristic lecture, ''"Treason in Ireland"'', the Rifles commandant J. Scollan said: "Many more of us through God’s grace shall live to see the Union Jack of England down in the dust and our own immortal green interwoven with the yellow and white of the Irish Republic waving proudly and victoriously…over the land."
