UVF
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a Loyalist paramilitary group formed in 1966, takes its name from the UVF of World War I. The Ulster Volunteer Force was mobilised as a Protestant/Unionist militia in 1912 to oppose the Home Rule campaign for a separate Irish parliament. Many UVF members formed the 36th (Ulster) Division that fought with the British Army in World War I. The Progressive Unionist Party is the political wing of the outlawed Ulster Volunteer Force and Red Hand Commando. Although the PUP is referred to as a loyalist fringe party, it holds more moderate unionist views than any of the traditional unionist parties.
