The UCD War List and Roll of Honour, an Armistice Centenary
The First World War broke out at a time when the university was still in its infancy. In total, 116 students joined up during the war. At the time, the university had an enrolment of around 700 students, of whom 500 were eligible for service. This was by no means an insignificant absence in the corridors of Earlsfort Terrace. Read ‘The UCD War List and Roll of Honour, an Armistice Centenary’ by Dr Conor Mulvagh.
