Pilgrimage to every fallen soldier from Sligo

While Ireland’s soldiers who died on the fields of Flanders were long unacknowledged, this has shifted over the past while. For 11 years, Seán’s guest has been on a mission to change our national approach to the sacrifice of these men. She recently undertook a project to visit the final resting places of 678 souls from Co. Sligo who died during the conflict in France and Belgium, travelling 2,000 kilometres between 42 cemeteries. Simone Hickey, Historian and author of ‘Bringing Them Home’, joins to discuss.
