The Irish Volunteer - Óglach na hÉireann, Volume 2 - Number 42
• Volunteers in training at Coosan Camp, Athlone, September 1915; William Mullins, Richard Mulcahy Seán Lester, Unknown, Donal Barrett, Terence Mac Swiney, John Griffin, Liam Langley, Pierce McCann and Austin Stack
With conscription being threatened again, the paper asks a question:
“Mr Winston Churchill demands that ‘we exert our strength to the very limit of human and national capacity’. Is this demand to be made only on the solider and the worker? When the war is over will Mr. Churchill’s cousin, Lord Londonderry, remain in full possession of his great estates and wealth in Ireland and in England?”
There is a report in the form of a diary of the Athlone training camp written by Terence Mac Swiney.
