The book, written by Galway historian, archaeologist and author William Henry, tells the story of the Galway men who fought in the ‘Great War’.  It is a carefully researched record, which gives an identity to the previously anonymous men of the Connaught Rangers and other regiments who have stared out from the pages of history books, nameless, for so many years. It follows up from his previous work, ‘Galway and the Great War’.

The book contains previously unpublished photos as well as a Roll of Honour which contains most of Galway’s established names. The book tells the stories of those who died as well as those who lived to tell their own stories, and also discusses those soldiers who fought in the war’s lesser-known fronts, in places like Baghdad and Basra where wars continue today.
