This book focuses on how Irish remembrance of the First World War
impacted the emerging Irish identity in the postcolonial Irish Free
State. While all combatants of the "war to end all wars"
commemorated the war, Irish memorial efforts were fraught with
debate over Irish identity and politics that frequently resulted in
violence against commemorators and World War I veterans. The book
examines the Flanders poppy, the Victory and Armistice Day parades,
the National War Memorial, church memorials, and private
remembrances. Highlighting the links between war, memory, empire
and decolonization, it ultimately argues that the Great War, its
commemorations, and veterans retained political potency between
1914 and 1937 and were a powerful part of early Free State life.
