Armistice Day Wreath Laying
In 2008, Glasnevin Trust and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission set about a task of marking previously unmarked graves in Glasnevin Cemetery of World War I and World War II graves of soldiers, sailors, air men and women. This task is now complete and in addition, 104 headstones or Gallipoli markers have been placed on family graves wherein the remains the fallen lie.
In addition, the Trust along with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission have relocated World War I and World War II commemorative screen walls from the Prospect Gate area to a more prominent location adjacent to the new ceremonial plaza.
To mark the completion of the joint effort, Glasnevin Trust Chairman John Green and members of Glasnevin Trust will participate in wreath laying ceremony to commemorate Armistice Day in Glasnevin Cemetery on, November 11th 2013 at 2.15pm.
Wreath laying will take place at 2.15pm, followed by a lecture covering Ireland's role in the two world wars in the Prospect Gallery, Glasnevin Cemetery Museum.
