Found on the Headstone of Hubert P. Macklin 1904:
LAMBH LADHER ULTAGH ABOO
Let the men die and the women live on in oppression
LA RAID MARA NA GAHRAN
Also has a hand holding a bloody dagger.
Translation and background information required. Is it a Fenian plea?
This September will be the Centenary of his death.

"The strong arm of Ulster forever"
I can't really get the second piece. "There was never a day......" I'm not sure.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh anam Hubert.
