strike
tribute
to
the
departing
British
troops
is
paid by
ueneral
Sir
Nevil
Maeready,
Military
Commander
~! Ireland.
in
a speciai
order
¢f
the
day..
He
says.
- 'lhe
sovern-
ment
having
decided
that
the tine has
arrived
to commence
withdrawing
troops
from lreland,
it
wished
to express
deep
appreciation
for
the
services
they
ren-
dered
during the
time
thzy formed
part
*of the
Irish
Command.
While
I
feel
there
is
no
desire
®on
the
part
of
“he
army
to
rake
up
past
animosities
of
bittern=ss,
you
have
been
calied-
to
perfor.n
duties
in many
respects
repug-
nant
to
our
iraditions
and
devoid of all
the glamour of war, though in many
ways
entailing greater
strain
and
grealer
indi-
vidual
dangers.
The
cal:
has
been
an-
swered
in
a
manner
woithy of the best
traditions of
the
service.
1 honestly
be-
lieve
no other
troops
in thie world would
all LUI
&
A YVi&
or could
have
carried
through
the work
ir which you
have
been
engaged
without
loss of
morale
or prestige.
You officers
and
men
have
aczomplished
the
wost
difficult task
any
soldier
can be called
to
undertake.
You
emerged
with your
dis-
cipiine
unshaken
your
conduct
in
the
eyes
of
all
tairminded
men
blameless.
When
history is writien you
vill find
you
contributed
no
inconsiderable
share
to-
ward
what
we hope
may
prove eventual
ly
settled
peace
and
prosp:rity tor
Ire-
land.””
The
General
concludes
wit! his
personal thanks,
saying
the soldiers
un-
der
abnormal
conditions
proved
chey
were second

none.
