Thanks to the family of Charles Stanley Cuthbert who donated their grandfather’s manuscript, we have an original account

by a surviving Irish soldier who fought in WWI. The manuscript has been conserved and digitised and is accompanied by a number of artefacts, including shrapnel taken from a wound sustained by Charles in 1918. This project has been managed by dlr Curator Archivist in Residence David Gunning, in partnership with Local Studies Librarian Nigel Curtin.
