New Irish Recruits Being Kitted Out With Uniform, 1922. 'After years of bloodshed, a treaty was signed, and in Dublin, a new flag replaced the Union jack. Ireland, save the six counties of Ulster, had become the Irish Free State...The Free State straightway formed its own army...Thousands rushed to enlist. It was patriotic, and it was a job...Enthusiasm made up for initial lack of equipment. And it was a little ironical that these first soldiers of a free Ireland donned British khaki, dyed green. Southern Ireland was free, and Ireland rejoiced'. From "Time To Remember - Sitting Still And Going Slowly", 1922 (Reel 1); review of events in 1922 including Irish Troubles, war between Greece and Turkey and developments in aviation and radio.
