Search for oldest veteren in Ireland

AN Cosantóir – the Defence Forces Magazine, and Ireland’s Military Story magazine have teamed up with Military Archives and the National Museum of Ireland in search for the oldest veterans of the Irish Defence Forces.

They would like to find the eldest veteran in each Corps/ Service and record their story.

If you served or know anyone who served in the following Corps or Services: Air Corps, Artillery, Cavalry, Coastwatching Service, Construction Corps, Engineers, Infantry, Local Defence, Security Force, Local Defence Force (LDF), Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil (FCÁ), Medical, Marine, Naval Service, Signals, Transport, Military Police, or Ordnance, get in touch.

As part of an ongoing Oral History project, the Veterans accounts will be recorded and deposited for future generations in Military Archives and the National Museum, and published in both magazines.

A reception will be held in the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, Dublin, in the New Year.
