Shell-shocked British Army veterans in Ireland, 1918-39 – Q&A Michael Robinson |
|
|
How would you like someone who has read your book to sum it up in one sentence?
An insight into the trial and tribulations of mentally disabled Irish Great War veterans demonstrating the simultaneous prejudice and assistance they experienced.
Did your research take you to any unexpected places?
The most surreal moment was visiting the archives of Leopardstown Hospital just outside of Dublin. Still operating today as a medical facility for elderly patients, the hospital was used throughout the inter-war period to care for mentally ill First World War veterans. I’d read so much about the hospital, and I was struck by how similar the main lobby looked to the old black and white photographs.
