This banner depicts the 36th (Ulster) Division on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916. Of the nine Victoria Crosses awarded to British soliders on that day, four went to men of the Ulster Division. Regimental mythology has it that Orangemen in the division charged wearing their sashes.
