Ireland and France (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Ireland and France

The terrible slaughter of the Commune is at an end. Our conquered army has returned home. Alsace and Lorraine are now German territory. In fine, the war is over, thanks be to the Lord.

Notwithstanding all our misfortunes, it is pleasant to know that there was one people who did not abandon us in our trials. One people who has the same esteem for us now, as it had before the war and that is the Irish people.

In this little volume, we shall briefly relate a few facts about the French and Irish Red Cross Societies during the late war between France and Prussia. The good these societies have done for the poor wounded soldiers; and also the grand ovations which the Irish people gave to the French delegates on their recent visit to Ireland. Let it be understood that the Opinions here expressed, are our own personally.
