A white cloth armband with stitched back and purple cloth, decorated with the word "Rossa" Used during the funeral of Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa on 1 August 1915. During the funeral Patrick Pearse gave his now famous graveside oration which ended with the words "... the fools, the fools, the fools! They have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace" An extremely interesting piece relating to one of the most important events in the Irish independence movement.
