The Moynihan Brothers in Peace and War.

A four part series based on the correspondence between two Tralee brothers (and their mother) ending with the death of Michael in the Great War just five months before the Armistice.  Many of the letters are preoccupied with the progress of the Great War and army life at the front.

The letters also cover Kerry, Irish and international politics, religion, church-state relations, unionism, the Irish Language, the Easter Rising, the trial of Roger Casement and conscription.
