Charles Wolfe Career

He was ordained as a Church of Ireland priest in 1817, first taking the Curacy of Ballyclog in County Tyrone before transferring almost immediately to Donaghmore, County Tyrone. There he developed a close friendship and deep respect for the Rev. Thomas Meredith, Rector of nearby Ardtrea, and a former Fellow of Trinity College Dublin. Wolfe wrote two epitaphs for Meredith, one on his memorial in the parish church of Ardtrea, and another intended for his tomb, which can both be read within Meredith's entry.

Charles Wolfe is best remembered for his poem, "The Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna", written in 1816 and much collected in 19th and 20th century anthologies. The poem first appeared anonymously in the Newry Telegraph of 19 April 1817, and was re-printed in many other periodicals. But it was forgotten until after his death when Lord Byron drew the attention of the public to it. Wolfe's only volume of verse, Poetical Remains appeared in 1825 with "The Burial of Sir John Moore" and fourteen other verses of an equally high standard.

The art study by Parliament compares hero of Napoleonic times to slavery

EXCLUSIVE: Lieutenant General Sir John Moore, nicknamed the 'Hero of Corunna' in the 19th century, is among the new additions to the abhorrent trade. He appears to have been included in the roll call because he defeated the French on St Lucia after the island had freed slaves to help support their army. The 1st Viscount Cardwell has also been included. He is credited with the creation of the modern army by insisting that promotions were earned rather than purchased, as well as improving soldiers' living conditions by banning flogging. The study has also included an example that "depicts ships" with the note, 'The Slave Trade in East Africa.' In fact, the photograph depicts British and German ships blockading Zanzibar in 1889, as part of the attempts to avoid the slave trade. The process was branded 'nonsense,' by Tories, who said that it had been misguided to'sit in judgment' on the previous.
