Have your say on Donegal WWI Book
of Honour
08.11.17
DONEGAL County Museum
is updating and reprinting its Book of Honour of
everyone from the county who died in the Great War
of 1914-1918.
To assist the museum, the public are invited to
consult the draft version of the book to check the
details provided and advise the museum of any new
names that should be added.
The County Donegal Book of Honour was first
published 15 years ago and was "the culmination of
the hard work and dedication of Paddy Harte Snr and
the County Donegal Book of Honour committee who
oversaw the research and compilation of all the
information contained within the book," a museum
spokesperson said. |
In the years since,
more information has become available on the men and
women who died, including those who enlisted in
countries such as Canada, Australia and the USA.
Donegal County Museum plans to launch the updated
book in November 2018 to commemorate the centenary
of the end of World War I and "as a tribute to all
those from Donegal who died".
You can view the draft version on
Donegalcoco.ie or by appointment at Donegal
County Museum.
If you have any updated or new information or wish
to amend any information, please fill in the details
on the
Book of Honour form and post or email it to
County Donegal Book of Honour, Donegal County
Museum, High Road, Letterkenny Co Donegal. You can
also email to
donegalbookofhonour@donegalcoco.ie by December
31, 2017. |
