This patch is a reproduction based on a traditional badge used by the Irish National Volunteers (INV), a constitutional nationalist organization formed in 1914 following a split from the Irish Volunteers. The design features a gold Irish harp surrounded by shamrocks, enclosed in a green circular background with “IRISH” above and “NATIONAL VOLUNTEERS” below in gold lettering. The patch symbolizes Ireland’s cultural heritage and political aspirations during a pivotal moment in its struggle for self-governance.
Founded under the leadership of John Redmond, the INV supported Irish participation in World War I as a way to secure Home Rule through loyalty to Britain. The organization grew to over 150,000 members at its peak, many of whom joined the British Army. While the group ultimately faded from prominence after the war, its visual symbols—like the harp and shamrock—remain enduring emblems of Irish nationalism.
