The 16th Irish Division Logo

The 16th Irish Division
The opening comment says it all.
'This webpage is to honour the men of the 16th Irish Division who took part in the Great War of 1914-1918. These brave and dutiful soldiers are little remembered because the Ireland from which they joined to fight for the freedom of small nations had, by 1918, undergone a sea-change in national aspirations. This Irish Division vanished into limbo, without honour, lying in an unquiet grave'.
