Praising "Soldiers & Chiefs" - Exhibition at Irish National History Museum at Collins Barracks in Dublin - Trevor Winckworth CEO of In Hand Guides

Trevor Winckworth & Paul O'Mahony have a quick chat about the audio guide which In Hand Guides have made for Collins Barracks.

You can buy the audio guide at the reception desk. (You can take the guide home with you as a souvenir - it's full of stories about Irish military experiences)

 "In the first half of the twentieth century,1914 - 23, the Irish people endured ten years of intense military activity, including participation in a world War, an urban insurrection, a guerrilla War and finally a bitter Civil War. Ireland changed from a country that was a source of foot soldiers for the British Army to an Independent nation with its own armed forces.

The result was a new nation bearing both the hopes of many of its citizens, and the pain left by the wars that had brought it into being. The experience of individual Irish men, women and children during these years are described in galleries 5-8 in Soldiers & Chiefs." (National Museum Website)
