Ireland’s Memorial Records, 1914-1918 contain the names of 49,435 enlisted men who were killed in the First World War. Commissioned in 1919 by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and published in 100 eight-volume sets, the Records are notable for stunning and elaborate page decorations by celebrated Irish illustrator Harry Clarke. Drawing from published and unpublished sources, Marguerite Helmers’ ground-breaking study provides a fascinating insight into the work of Harry Clarke as an extraordinary war artist and examines the process that led to the Records being commissioned through to the eventual placement of the Records within the Irish National War Memorial at Islandbridge, Dublin. With Harry Clarke’s illustrations taking center stage in the story, the Records and their genesis are of vital importance to our understanding of how art and commemoration can come together in a powerful visual creation.

An historical and attractive guide to the various national, regimental and divisional memorials on the Western Front, with photographs and maps, and also notes on memorials further afield including Gallipoli. Published in the 1930s by pioneer travel agency and printing company Dean & Dawson, who conducted battlefield visits. Tour operators such as Dean & Dawson helped form the 'Roots of Remembrance' that 100+ years on still attract pilgrims in their droves to visit the Western Front and its memorials to the fallen. An interesting contemporary tour prospectus is reprinted with this book that outlines the various tours to the Somme, Ypres, Arras etc, along with the maps that accompanied the original publication.

This is a masterful volume on remembrance and war in the twentieth century. Jay Winter locates the fascination with the subject of memory within a long-term trajectory that focuses on the Great War. Images, languages, and practices that appeared during and after the two world wars focused on the need to acknowledge the victims of war and shaped the ways in which future conflicts were imagined and remembered. At the core of the "memory boom" is an array of collective meditations on war and the victims of war, Winter says. The book begins by tracing the origins of contemporary interest in memory, then describes practices of remembrance that have linked history and memory, particularly in the first half of the twentieth century. The author also considers "theaters of memory"-film, television, museums, and war crimes trials in which the past is seen through public representations of memories. The book concludes with reflections on the significance of these practices for the cultural history of the twentieth century as a whole.

"A Century of Remembrance is a study of one hundred outstanding British war memorials which commemorate 20th century conflicts from the Boer War to the Falklands and Gulf wars. The first described is a Boer War memorial unveiled on 5 November 1904, and the last is the Animals in War memorial unveiled in London on 24 November 2004. With a short description of the featured memorial's background and significance accompanied by photographs of the whole and detail, each entry is highly informative. The selection represents the work of numerous designers and artists, some like Edward Lutyens of world-renown, others virtually unknown. They come in a wide variety of forms such as statues, stained glass windows, arches, obelisks, cloisters, chapels, art galleries and even a carillon." "The aim of this book is to focus attention not just on the richness and range of our national memorials but also on the important work of The War Memorials Trust, which will benefit from the sale of this book."--BOOK JACKET.
