Far From Home
Have you ever travelled overseas to
a foreign country?
If you have, you may have found yourself in
a world where the climate, language, food
and lifestyle were different. Many Irish men
and women in military service went to distant
places and some stayed abroad for the rest of
their lives. Others visited Ireland from time to
time or came back home when they retired.

Horsepower
My Name:
More than 100 years ago, army horses filled the Irish town of Athy. Look in this picture for
different kinds of horses, such as – a
fine horse for an officer, horses for all the cavalry soldiers, a white horse
for the trumpeter, and even a horse
pulling a carriage.

Clothes Makethe Soldier
How do you decide what to wear?Perhaps you try to look the same as your friends, or you might prefer certain colours or styles of clothing. The clothes you choose reveal things about yourself to other people.
If you wear a uniform, does it make you feel part of the school or the team? When you wear a uniform, it says you’re part of a group, instead of revealing your taste as an individual.
