IRISH SERVICEWOMEN IN THE GREAT WAR - From Western Front to the Roaring Twenties

When the call went out in 1917 for volunteers willing to serve both at home and on the Western Front in a newly founded Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, young women from every province of Ireland responded just as eagerly as those from homes in Scotland, England and Wales.

About the author

When Irish author and historian Barbara Walsh gained a doctorate in history from Lancaster University in 1999, she had already enjoyed a long and productive career which had encompassed a number of creative outlets as a writer, artist, broadcaster and multi-media producer.

Barbara went on to develop a particular interest in researching neglected early twentieth century historical topics which she presents as ground-breaking building blocks to introduce new themes and fields of research. Each subsequently well- received publication of her work has allowed these topics to be successful developed and expanded by international scholars.

Summary

The story of the Irish women who responded to the call for volunteers on the Western Front in 1917. This is the history of those women who joined the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps from every class, creed, family background and ability.
