A series of unique and insightful talks which will discuss and highlight the impact World War 1 had on Donegal, will be chronicled in a series of talks by Monreagh Heritage Centre which takes place all over Donegal during the next two weeks.
The talks will focus on the The First World War and its impact on Donegal, and it will be delivered by Steve Hunter from Monreagh Heritage Centre at venues across the county.
The talks are centred around the following theme – HANDS OF HISTORY – ONE DONEGAL – MANY PASTS – ONE FUTURE
The talks offer a truly fascinating and detailed insight into the impact the war had on Donegal and the role many of its sons and daughters played in The Great War.
Speakers will recall the involvement of people from Donegal in World War I and will look at the personal stories of those involved, as well as giving a broad overview of the events of World War I.
