An Online Exhibition Commissioned by Limerick Museum.
Researched and Curated by Dr Stephen Griffin.
This exhibition is part of the Limerick City and County Council Decade of Centenaries Programme, which is organised by Limerick City and County Library Service and funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries 2012-2023 initiative.
In 1922, all the Irish regiments whose catchment areas were in the Irish Free State were disbanded and their colours presented to King George V in Windsor castle. This exhibition looks at the forty-one year history of the Royal Munster Fusiliers whose catchment area included Limerick City and County. Thousands of Limerick men served in this regiment, which saw service all over the world, particularly in the Boer War and First World War.
