171: Anzacs and Ireland: Exploring the relationship between Ireland and Australia during World War I
The people of Ireland and Australia have much in common based on genealogy and a shared heritage. Yet the connections between Ireland and Australia in World War I are little known even though they are many and run deep. In this presentation Jeff Kildea tells the story of how those connections were forged: Australian and Irish soldiers fought alongside each other at Gallipoli, the Western Front and in Palestine, and thousands of Irish-born men and women enlisted in the Australian forces. But it was in Ireland itself that Australian soldiers cemented their relationships with Ireland and its people, as tourists on leave, in some cases becoming involved in the Easter Rising of 1916, while some failed to return and are buried in Irish soil.
