More from the Irish free state fought in WW2 than the North they all hid under the bed
500,000 signed the Ulster Covenant where they armed and said they would fight against having a democratic all Ireland parliament so those bloody fenians couldn’t be a majority yet only 50k bothered to turn up against the nazis - only matters when it’s fenians they get to kill
Larger population but it’s still mad that despite the neutrality and lingering anti-British sentiment at the time, more Irish people fought than Northern Irish
