EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Major L.G. Tempest Stone's Ulster Volunteer Force Memorabilia: A Glimpse into the Past" This exquisite silver menu holder, an intriguing piece of historical memorabilia, belonged to Major L.G. Tempest Stone, CMG. The menu holder, adorned with the distinctive Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) badge, is a poignant reminder of the turbulent political climate in Ireland during the early 20th century. The UVF badge, engraved on the base, is accompanied by the inscription "RCM Major L.G. Tempest Stone, South Belfast Ulster Club, 1914." Major Tempest Stone's military career began in 1904 when he was commissioned as a Captain in the Royal Fusiliers. By 1914, he had risen through the ranks to become a Major. During this period, he also served as a Railway Transport Officer in the Administration Services Depot at Port No. 1, Southampton. The CMG initials engraved on the base of the menu holder signify that Major Tempest Stone was a signatory to the Curragh Incident, which took place on 20th March 1914. This significant event occurred when British Army officers in Ireland threatened to resign their commissions rather than enforce Home Rule on Protestant Ulster Unionists. This commemorative ware, crafted in silver, is not only a testament to Major Tempest Stone's military career but also a powerful symbol of the historical context in which he lived. The intricate design and the engravings on the menu holder add to its antique charm, making it a fascinating collectible for history enthusiasts and collectors alike.
