Irish military archives to release records online
Ireland's Military Archives are currently digitising a number of key collections which should delight both genealogists and historians alike. These records will be available to search online through their website - http://militaryarchives.ie/
The Military Archives has already digitised hundreds of military maps, plans and drawings and in the next few months will launch the "Bureau of Military History witness statements (1913-1921)".
The Military Archives does not hold Irish service records for those who served in the two World Wars. These records are held with The National Archives in London.
