Oglaigh na h-Eireann (Irish Republican Army) : England's Agents in the portion of Ireland known as 'The Irish Free State' are endeavouring to their utmost to bolster up and perpetuate the Imperial Regime of the past seven years, by strengthening their Military Forces. With this object an attempt is being made to more thoroughly organise Military Reserves, and to raise a new force to be known as 'The Volunteer Reserve Force'...The Army Council, on behalf of The Irish Republican Army, appeals to Irish Citizens to give neither countenance nor support to the 'Imperial Volunteer Reserve Force' - the latest effort to fasten the grip of the British Empire, and its Agents on Ireland, which is designed to give British domination voluntary sanction. Irish Citizens! Do not assist England's policy in Ireland any longer. If England is determined to hold Ireland in subjection, lave the task to - Englishmen. The duty of young Irishmen of military age is to join Ireland's Army (The Irish Republican Army) which is determined to break the Imperial connection, and re-assert Ireland's inalienable rights as A Sovereign Nation. Do your duty to your own country, and help Ireland's Army to vindicate your rights as Freemen. The Republic of Ireland proclaimed in 1916 is alone entitled to your allegiance, or to demand Military service from Irishmen.
