Line 27:
:::The kind of thing I have in mind is the [http://www.bureauofmilitaryhistory.ie/reels/bmh/BMH.WS0632.pdf Bureau of Military History witness statement of Elizabeth Bloxham] (p. 3 of the pdf, p. 1 of the actual statement) where she says, "Being Protestants...it was just taken for granted that we joined in the singing of 'God save the King' at the end of our concerts and temperance meetings just as we took it for granted that the local brass band played 'God save Ireland' and 'A nation once again'." I'm sure it's said more elequently in some of the secondary sources, but it's that sense of the ubiquitousness of the song in early 20th-century nationalist Ireland that needs to be brought out more in this article.
:::There is an article on [[Irish rebel music]], but it's not very good. There is neither an article nor a category for loyalist songs. Perhaps that's something that needs to be addressed. [[User:Scolaire|Scolaire]] ([[User talk:Scolaire|talk]]) 20:35, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
