Nationalist organisation remembering the most famous nationalist!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

David R Ross the author , I believe, is in the second last photo in the blue t-shirt and green kilt. (He is the rather tall burly man). I also believe he has not been knighted.
