Summary
A solemn century-and-ten-year remembrance unfolded in Dublin, honoring Irish soldiers who died in World Wars One and Two, with over 40,000 lives lost across both conflicts. The ceremony at the Irish National War Memorial Gardens, jointly organized by the Royal British Legion from both Irish jurisdictions, featured wreath-laying by key political and military leaders, including Dublin and Belfast mayors, alongside ambassadors from Britain, Canada, Germany, and more. Music from the Irish Defence Forces Band, the Royal Irish Regiment Band, and The Brook Singers underscored the gravity of the occasion, as thousands gathered to pay tribute to the fallen — including nearly 3,500 who died in the horrific Battle of the Somme alone.
