To truly understand the motives why men from Letterkenny signed up to fight in the Great War, we must return to the Ireland of 1914 and view their world with pre-1916 eyes. This was a time of great hope and the beginning of a ‘new Ireland’ with the granting of Home Rule. The scenes of jubilation in the town of Letterkenny at this historic occasion were described in the Derry Journal: “Every Nationalist house in the town was illuminated, most of them with great artistic taste. The green flag flew from many windows while vari-coloured bunting was general. On the Sentry Hill, Market Square, and at street junctures large bonfires blazed, and all around the town the hilltops and hillsides were lit up.”
