on Dear All,
For those of us interested in working on disability histories, there is a wonderful new online digitised archive:The Military Archives of Oglaigh na hEireann, the Defence Forces of Ireland.
The archives contain the large pension files of soldiers, alongside newspaper articles among other wonderful things.
For anyone interested in Irish history, military history and pension within disability history, we would consider this an option!
