Here we a very distinguished group of gentlemen pictured on the steps of Castle Upton in Templepatrick in 1912.
All of the men and the boy's names are unknown but the presence of the Union flag and the fact that they are all wearing badges makes it an important

Ulster Volunteers at Castle Upton in Templepatrick after the signing of the Ulster Covenant on September 28, 1912.
Almost half a million people signed the Covenant, which was drawn up in opposition to Home Rule.
In January 1913 the Ulster Unionist Council decided the Volunteers should be renamed the Ulster Volunteer Force and receive training in firearms.
Thousands of them and other men from Northern Ireland were to die on the bloody battlefields of the Somme in July 1916.
