The diary of an officer in the 6th Royal Dublin Fusiliers covering
1914-19 and four theatres of war. Noel Drury (1884-1975) was from a
middle-class Dublin Protestant family and served most of the First
World War as an officer in the 6th Royal Dublin Fusiliers in the
10th (Irish) Division. The division was the first of Ireland's
wartime volunteer formations to be posted overseas, arriving at
Gallipoli in August 1915 in the Suvla Bay landings. Drury and his
battalion experienced several key phases of the Gallipoli campaign
before being redeployed to Salonika in October 1915. Drury was away
from his battalion for a year in 1916-17 suffering from malaria,
but rejoined in Palestine towards the end of 1917. From there his
battalion was sent to the Western Front in the summer of 1918 to
take part in the Hundred Days Offensive. Drury's diaries describe
training, daily life, contrasting theatres of the war, and show
what it meant to be an Irish officer in the British army.
