It has been estimated that during the course of the Great War 1914-18 more than 80 per cent of all eligible males from Irish country house families enlisted and that approximately 23 per cent were killed in action.

In the summer of 2016, to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, the ‘Irish country house and the Great War database’, containing biographical details of more than 4,000 men and women of the Irish country house who served in the Great War will be launched.
