Description
It Was An Awful Sunday tells the story of the 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, a closely knit battalion recruited from across the community in the North of Ireland, from August 1914 to the Battle of Festubert in May 1915. The book explores the battalion's experiences, including personal accounts, and examines the impact of tactics and the 'Munitions Crisis' on the battle.
The daily life of the soldiers throughout the winter of 1914/15 is also covered, along with the effects of the topography and weather conditions on the outcome of the battle. The post-battle impact on individuals and the battalion as a unit is detailed, providing a comprehensive account of this pivotal period in history.
