14 Nov 2014 Farnham and Nugent, County Cavan

Fri, 14 Nov 14

Duration:

7 mins

The Great War, like previous conflicts, saw many members of what might be called the Irish landed gentry¹ serve as officers in the British Armed Forces. This military tradition was particularly strong in and around County Cavan, which between 1914 and 1945 alone produced SiX Field Marshalls, ELEVEN Generals and SEVEN Admirals – as well as some other historic names. Two neighbours in Cavan - Lord Farnham and Sir Oliver Nugent - would find their lives entwined not just in the First World War but also in the Home Rule crisis.

参考例句：
Landed income was the true measure of the gentry.来自土地的收入是衡量是否士绅阶层的真正标准。 Better be the head of the yeomanry than the tail of the gentry.宁做自由民之首，不居贵族之末。
