I remind people that Friday is 11 November - Armistice Day - the date on which the millions of men who fell in the Great War and many other wars are remembered. I wear my Irish shamrock poppy pin today to remember the 50,000 Irishmen - Nationalist and Unionist from north and south - who fought in the armies of the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. For some reason, we forget about the Nationalist end of things and those 25,000 or 30,000 men.
