Episode: Tracing the Mons Star: Stories from the Royal Irish Regiment
Description: Authors MaryAnne Maher and Larry Scallan join me in studio to share the extraordinary research behind their new book Mons Star to the Royal Irish Regiment. Tracing the stories of the 1,928 men awarded the 1914 'Mons Star' medal, including their own relatives, this deeply personal and historical work brings new light to Ireland’s involvement in the early days of WWI. With a Wexford book launch just around the corner, they tell us what inspired the project — and what they uncovered along the way.
