There is something for everyone at our annual Christmas at the Castle! We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
We are pleased to announce the unveiling of an future ANZAC Peace Memorial on our campus.
Nearly 300,000 soldiers in WWI were Irish, and of those roughly 7,000 fought for New Zealand and Australia (according to the EPIC Immigration Museum in Dublin). The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, or ANZAC, forces have become particularly synonymous with the assault and battle at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915. The ANZAC forces fought alongside many other Allied nations at Gallipoli, including Britain, France, India and French Africa. Three Irish regiments and the 10th (Irish) Division were also deployed to Gallipoli as part of British Army.
In a shared history of immigration and peace, we are honored to unveil this monument for our Southern Cousins.
