Examining the three Irish Divisions, and the 14 Irish Regiments and their Battalions, the lecture endeavours to cover every aspect of the Irish Soldier’s experience in the First World War. In particular Joye will focus on 1915 and the Irish in Gallipoli.
Lar Joye is curator of Irish Military History at the National Museum of Ireland. He curated the award-winning Soldiers & Chiefs Exhibition at Collins Barracks and the recent History of Ireland in 100 Objects and 1913 Lockout exhibitions.
