Clare Men and Women in the Great War 1914-1918
by Ger Browne

 

Great War 1914-1918

'The first article gives some of the Armies, Regiments and Corps that Clare men fought with in World War 1, the battles and events they died in, those who became POW's, those who had shell shock, some brothers who died, those shot at dawn, Clare politicians in WW1, Clare men court-martialed, and the awards and medals won by Clare men and women.

Also enclosed is an alphabetical list of nearly 4,000 Clare men and women who participated in the War, an index of where they came from, a timeline of when and where the 680+ died, and 90 pages of photos of the 251 cemeteries and memorials throughout the world where the Clare War Dead are buried or remembered.

There are over 690 individual profiles of the Clare War Dead, Memorials and Graves from WW1 that are located in Clare, The Great Houses of Clare during WW1, Clare Newspapers and WW1 1914-2015, WW1 Booklets and articles related to Clare.

There are features on Clarecastle, Ennis, Ennistymon, Killaloe/Ballina, Inch/Kilmaley/Connolly, Kilrush, Labasheeda, Sixmilebridge, Tulla, Doora-Barefield and Clooney-Quin. There are also features on the Claremen who Fought in the Battle of the Somme, The Anzac’s and Canadians from Clare in WW1, The Doughboys (US Soldiers) from Clare in WW1 and Claremen in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd to 9th Battalions of the Royal Munster Fusiliers

This work is virtually completed. Some additions may be made where necessary in the future. I would like to thank the hundred's of people who made this project possible, and especially the Clare Library for all their help.’
