'Soldiers of Cumann na mBan’ honoured with book and CD

AT the launch of Cumann na mBan: County Galway Dimensions, a booklet acknowledging the role Galway women played in the fight for Irish independence, a call was made for more people with information – documents, photos, mementos etc – to come forward and help ensure these courageous, radical and committed women secure their rightful place in the history books.
The book contains CD with a new recording of The Soldiers of Cumann na mBan, written by 1916 participant Brian O’Higgins the week before the Rising. It is arranged and sung by Corrandulla musician Joseph Forde. The CD and book will be made widely available, including in libraries and each school in the county.
