45. Childers - Pt1 Erskine Childers The Howth Guns. (This is the first of a two part series of articles on Erskine Childers.) The more one reads Irish history, http://www.irish-society.org/Hedgemaster Archives/childers_-_pt1.htm

Erskine Childers: The Howth Guns This is the first of a two part series of articles on Erskine Childers.) The more one reads Irish history, the more one realizes that Ireland's independence was brought about by individuals with divergent views, not all of whom would conform to our stereotype of an Irish patriot. Many of us first generation Irish Americans tend to assume that all "good Irishmen" are cut from the same bolt of cloth that is typified by characters played by Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald. In reality, the men and women who worked hard to gain Ireland's independence from Great Britain came from all sorts of diverse backgrounds. I Some were even loyal Englishmen. Erskine Childers was one such individual. Born in England in 1870, a graduate of Cambridge University, and a civil servant who spent most of his adult life working for the British House of Commons as, a Clerk, Erskine Childers was what some would call "gung ho" or a "flag waver." For example, he volunteered twice to serve his country. First, when the Boer War broke out, he enlisted in a horse artillery company that was sent to Africa. And then again in 1914 - at the age of 44, and married with two children - he enlisted in the Royal Navy. This latter decision was a logical choice for a middle aged sailor whose yacht, now on display in the yard at Kilmainham Prison, was once a familiar sight off England and Europe's coastal waters. In fact, Childers had written a mystery novel involving seagoing smugglers and the European coastal waters. This novel so detailed the European coast that some time later the Royal Navy used it as a guide to navigate such waters. For his naval service in World War 1, Childers was awarded Great Britain's highest military honor, the Distinguished Service Cross.

46. Childers -Pt2 (This is the second of a two part series of articles on Erskine Childers. Part one discussed Erskine Childers role in securing Howth Guns.) http://www.irish-society.org/Hedgemaster Archives/childers.htm

Erskine Childers: Patriot or Traitor? This is the second of a two part series of articles on Erskine Childers. Part one discussed Erskine Childers' role in securing Howth Guns.) The Irish Volunteers drilled for almost two years with the "Howth Guns" brought into the country by the Englishman Erskine Childers before a shot was fired. When that happened, during the Easter Rebellion of April 16, 1916, Mr. Childers was serving with distinction in the British Royal Navy. But on hearing the news of the Rising, he wrote a cousin cheering the rebels and blaming Great Britain for its years of denying freedom to the Irish. Although many an Irishman, hopeful for Home Rule after the war, cheered the British victory over the fool hardy school teacher Padric Pearse and the poet Joseph Mary Plunkett at the General Post Office on O'Connell Street, Dublin, their sentiments changed quickly owing to Britain's harsh treatment of the captured rebels. One by one, fifteen men were executed between May 3 and May 12, 1916 by British military firing squads for their treasonous act of proclaiming the Irish Republic. The rest of the captured rebels were sentenced to life imprisonment in British goals. Soon pictures of the fifteen "martyrs" could be seen in every pub and shop window. Wartime patriotic displays of the Union Jack were taken down even though there were many Irishmen serving in British and Irish units in France. The slain rebels soon became eulogized in song and story, thereby serving to galvanize a rebellious spirit which bore fruit with the Sinn Fein party's winning more seats in Parliament than the Unionist Party. Rebel Irish Volunteer units began to raid the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) for arms. Once tolerated and even accepted in the local community, the members of the local RIC were finding themselves boycotted in the local pubs and towns. In the Fall of 1918 the Sinn Fein party won the general election in Ireland by a huge majority, but refused to go to London to sit in the Parliament at Westminster. Instead they formed their own parliament, the Dail, and the "Troubles" began.

Updated - Sunday, 29 September, 2002 Erskine Childers (1870-1922), the author of a popular pre-war adventure novel concerning a German invasion of Britain, served with the Royal Navy during World War One before becoming involved in Irish politics as an Irish republican following the war. Born in London in February 1870 Childers was brought up in Annamoe in County Wicklow at his cousin's home before being educated at Haileybury and at Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1894 he took up employment in the House of Commons as a committee clerk before taking up a career in the British army, during which time he served in the South African War of 1899-1902, being wounded in 1900. A skilled yachtsman Childers published in 1903 a fictional account of a planned German invasion of England, The Riddle of the Sands . In a current climate of fear concerning a potential surprise German attack Childers book became an instant bestseller and may even have informed subsequent naval reaction. The following year, 1904, Childers married Marry Ellen Osgood of Boston; six years later he resigned his work at the House of Commons to concentrate instead on political work, and in particular on his developing interest in Irish Home Rule politics.

E-mail us The Riddle of the Sands Erskine Childers REVIEW Rating: 5 (Superb) C arruthers is a jaded but wealthy civil servant working for the Foreign Office in London in a late summer of the 1890's. He receives an unwelcome but intriguing invitation from an old schoolmate to go sailing in the Baltic. Carruthers is disdainful of the proposer, one Arthur Davies, whom he remembers as unremarkable, even boring certainly not one of the beautiful people with which Carruthers associates. However, all of his usual cronies have gone off on holiday, and he is concerned that they will think badly of him if he just stays at home. As Carruthers joins Davies in Flensburg Fiord aboard the "Dulcibella", the mystery is already full-blown. Why would an old classmate, with whom he'd had no contact since college, decide suddenly to invite him sailing on his boat which was definitely not a yacht by Carruthers's standards in the Baltic at the end of September? Carruthers begins to doubt his judgment in accepting the invitation at all; but, sensing the mystery and the pleading attitude of Davies, he resolves to jump into the adventure and to try to enjoy himself. The result is the two sailors exploring the Friesland islands, while playing cat and mouse with the German authorities and a mysterious gentleman named Dollman, whose daughter Davies has fallen for. The sailing experiences alone are worth the price of the book. Childers, the author, had to spend his early life in just such an environment to be able to speak with such authority and to demonstrate such realism. Davies's use of tides, currents, winds, and lee shores in a real setting speaks authentically. The book stands alone as an excellent sailing adventure.
