This remarkable collection of first-hand accounts provides a unique opportunity to hear the voices of those who lived and fought through the Great War. Through their eyes, we witness the horrors of the trenches, the exhilaration of battle, and the enduring bonds of camaraderie that emerged amidst the chaos.

From the Trenches to the Home Front

The book delves into the diverse experiences of Irish soldiers on the Western Front. From the muddy trenches of Flanders to the bloody battlefields of the Somme, their accounts offer a harrowing glimpse into the realities of trench warfare.

Beyond the front lines, Irish women played a vital role in supporting the war effort. As nurses, munitions workers, and volunteers, they demonstrated extraordinary courage and resilience. Their stories illuminate the often-forgotten contributions of women to the war.
