Here's a monument
"Dedicated to the memory of the Officers and men
of the Third Battalion Dublin Brigade
Who Died For Ireland in 1918 and Since."
I assumed this was about expeditionary duty in the Great War and since, but I realize now that it may be relating to more local matters.
Regardless, there's a certain sort of poetic understatement in Irish expression that just destroys me. It reads, below,
"May They All Be On God's Right Hand."
