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.
