An event is to be held in the Tipperary Excel Centre on Thursday August 22nd to launch a history book relating to the War of Independence and Civil war era in County Tipperary.
The book project is being led by Neil Ryan and the Third Tipperary Brigade Old IRA Commemoration Committee. The book is titled “Memories, Etched in Stone” and features many previously unknown photographs that were made available to the committee. In addition, over 80 monuments that the Committee has erected since 1923 have been photographed for the book as have many of the headstones in graveyards across the county erected in memory of those that died during this period.
The book, which is a mix of text and photographs will be launched by Pat Leahy, Political Editor of the Irish Times, on Thursday 22 August at 7:30 pm in the Excel Centre and all are welcome to attend. Copies of the book will also be on sale on the night.
