County Wexford in the Rare Oul’ Times, vol ix.
Nicholas Furlong & John Hayes.
Old Distillery Press, Wexford (2005).
The first three volumes in this series, featuring old and rare Wexford photographs, were remarkably successful and are now collectors items.
This edition features county Wexford at war, 1910–1924, with dramatic photographic coverage of World War I off the south-east coast of Ireland; the 1916 Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War in county Wexford. Many of the photographs are published for the first time. This important volume will be of interest to the general reader and also for academic research.
Nicholas Furlong is the author of several books, stage productions and historical biographies. As a journalist of long standing he has contributed widely to many publication and currently contributes a weekly feature to the Echo Newspapers group.
John Hayes worked in the People Newspapers Group for many years. His expertise in the field of photographic restoration has been an outstanding feature of the series.
