This video focuses on the UVF's significant gun-running operation in 1914, where they acquired nearly 25,000 surplus rifles, including the Gewehr 88, and millions of rounds of ammunition. The rifles, sourced from Hamburg, were smuggled into Ireland to bolster the Ulster Volunteer Force's capabilities in response to Home Rule. The video highlights that many of these rifles, including the featured Gewehr 88, were marked with the UVF insignia upon arrival, demonstrating the successful execution of this large-scale arms procurement.
