Cur Síos:	One of two placards placed by the German army above the parapet of their trenches on the 9th of May 1916, in Hulluch, north-eastern France. The placard faced the Royal Muster Fusiliers' trench."Irishmen! Heavy uproar in Ireland. English guns are firing at Your wifes [sic] and children!" The placards provided some amusement to the Munsters who used them for target practice evidenced by the bullet holes. At 1am the next morning, a patrol led by Lieutenant F J Biggane of the Munsters cut the German wire and captured both placards. They were later presented to King George V.
