## Resource

In the wake of Ireland’s independence, two Irish generals spearheaded a heartfelt campaign to honor Irish soldiers who fought for Britain in WWI — raising funds for three massive Celtic crosses commemorating battles in Flanders, the Somme, and Macedonia. The first cross, unveiled in Dublin in 1924 to roaring crowds, symbolized national pride and sacrifice. Over the next few years, the remaining crosses found their places — one in North Macedonia, then France and Flanders in 1926. The Flanders ceremony walked a diplomatic tightrope with no Irish flag, while in France, locals welcomed them with cheers and a banner reading “Viva l’Irlande,” attended by war hero Marshal Joffre. Decades later, France honored these fallen heroes again — this time in Dublin, cementing their legacy across borders.
