World War 1 - Re-enactment - War Memorial Gardens, Dublin
The National War Memorial Gardens played host to a Living History World War 1 re-enactment family day on Sunday 29 May 2016.
On the day, members of the re-enactment groups representing Irish soldiers who fought in World War I from the Irish Great War Society and their German counterparts representing a Royal Prussian Infantry Regiment Nr81 held talks and demonstrations on what life was like for a soldier in the Great War. The evolution of the German uniform was explained – from its highly decorative style at the start of the War to the adoption of a more practical uniform as the reality of war developed. A demonstration was also given of when gas masks were first introduced and how constant refinement was required as different gasses were deployed.
Also on display were a field hospital showing how the soldiers were treated at the Front and their accommodation. The Book Rooms were also open where members of the public could check the names of their relatives in the Memorial Books in which the names of all the Irish soldiers who lost their lives in the War are recorded. These books were restored in 2014 and depict magnificently illustrations by Harry Clarke. The illustrations are a combination of Celtic and Art Deco motifs,medals and badges, war panoramas and religious and mythological scenes.
Seamus Cashman also read poetry from the Great War poets including Thomas Kettle and Francis Ledwidge.

WAR MEMORIAL GARDENS DUBLIN 8 - AN EMOTIONAL VISIT
Irish National War Memorial Gardens
Irish National War Memorial Gardens, Island Bridge, Ushers, Dublin, Ireland ,Not to be confused with Garden of Remembrance (Dublin).
The Irish National War Memorial Gardens (Irish: Gairdíní Náisiúnta Cuimhneacháin Cogaidh na hÉireann) is an Irish war memorial in Islandbridge, Dublin, dedicated to the memory of the 49,400 Irish soldiers who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914–1918,[1] out of over 300,000 Irishmen who served in all armies.

The Memorial Gardens also commemorate all other Irish men and women who at that time served, fought and died in Irish regiments of the Allied armies, the British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African and United States armies in support of the Triple Entente's war effort against the Central Powers.
Following a meeting of over 100 representatives from all parts of Ireland on 17 July 1919, a Trust Fund was created to consider plans and designs for a permanent memorial to commemorate all those Irish men and women killed in the First World War.[1] A General Committee was formed in November 1924 to pursue proposals for a site in Dublin. For technical and administrative reasons it was not until its meeting on 28 March 1927 in the Shelbourne Hotel that Merrion Square, alternatively St Stephen's Green, were proposed. A debate in the Free State Senate failed to resolve the impasse. W. T. Cosgrave, president of the Irish Free State Executive Council then appointed Cecil Lavery to set up a War Memorial Committee to advance the memorial process. [2]
Cosgrave who was very interested in bringing the Memorial to fruition met with Sir Andrew Jameson, a Senator and member of the Committee on 9 December 1930 and suggested the present site. At that time known as the Longmeadows Estates it is about 60 acres (24 ha) in extent stretching parallel along the south bank of the River Liffey from Islandbridge towards Chapelizod.[1] His proposal was adopted by the Committee on 16 December 1931. Cosgrave said at the time that . ... this is a big question of Remembrance and Honour to the dead and it must always be a matter of interest to the head of the Government to see that a project so dear to a big section of the citizens should be a success. [2]
General William Hickie saying the Memorial is an All-Ireland one. A generous gift was sanctioned by the Irish Government in an eleven paragraph agreement with the Committee on 12 December 1933, the Dublin City Council Office of Public Works (OPW) having already commenced work with 164 men during 1932. [2]
In the adverse political conditions of the 1930s Éamon de Valera's government still recognised the motives of the Memorial and made valuable state contributions to it. The cabinet approved work be divided 50% between British and Irish WWI ex-servicemen. [2] Many difficulties arose in 1937 for the WM Committee with regard to plants, trees and the need to obtain a completion certificate from the Office of Public Works, which was finally issued in January 1938. [2] An official opening was agreed for 30 July 1939, but the looming threat of war led to it being postponed. In the end, no official opening ever happened, but the first public event in the gardens took place in 1940 for Armistice Day celebrations.[3]
We have found safety with all things undying,
The winds, and morning, tears of men and mirth,
The deep night, and birds singing, and clouds flying,
And sleep, and freedom, and the autumnal earth.
