Hello A friend of mine and the son of one of the Munster Fus men wrote a book last year. The Story Behind the Monument, The 29th Division in Warwickshire and north Oxfordshire January-March 1915. by Chris Holland & Tony Jordan ISBN 0-9537462-3-2 . 2005. £4.50 (I think) Not sure if you are interested in a copy or just extracts. I will be seeing Chris tomorrow at the WFA meeting ( I do not get any commission!) Basically the 29th Div monument is near the village of Stretton Warwickshire - junction of the Fosse way and London Road (A45). The Div formed in the area before going to Gallipoli. The 1st RDF enjoyed their selves so much in Nuneaton that Major Grimshaw DSO , let out the immortal rallying call before the attack on Hill 141 ' Do you want to go back to Nuneaton', the Dublins cheered and he said 'Very well then, make a brilliant charge and may the best men live to return to Nuneaton' He was killed shortly afterwards.

Yes, please pass along any details you have on the Dubs.
