NATIONAL MUSEUM OF IRELAND SERIES OF ARTICLES


The Soldiers and Chiefs military galleries at the National Museum in Collins Barracks, Dublin, have proved to be hugely popular and are attracting a greater daily attendance than expected. These exhibitions increase public awareness of the story of the Irish soldier, one of the principal objectives of the Trust.

To add to that knowledge and appreciation of the Irish soldier, the Trust arranged for series of articles on selected items in the exhibitions to be published in An Cosantóir and in local newspapers around Ireland, both North and South.

Each article concentrates on a particular item in the military museum that caught the author’s attention and imagination, is of 300 to 500 words in length and accompanied by an appropriate photograph.

The Trust now publishes these articles on its website thereby contributing to developing amongst Irish men and women, both at home and abroad, a greater knowledge and appreciation of Ireland’s proud military heritage which is common to the different political and religious traditions of this island.
