You can probably see why I forgot I went there earlier this year. This is the entire display for WW2 in the recently revamped building. A Home front exhibit. National Museums Northern Ireland Album: Ulster Museum, WW2 display | WW2Talk https://cms.nationalmuseumsni.org/s...ap english 10 DECEMBER 2024 final for web.pdf "MODERN HISTORY 1500 - 1968 Modern History is arranged around noteworthy events and themes telling the story of the historic province of Ulster from 1500 to 1968. Objects on display include the Dungiven costume, a rare 16th-century garment recovered from a bog, and the sword of Henry Joy McCracken, prominent United Irishman hanged in 1798. Many of the objects are directly connected to key events and personalities from the past 500 years – from Hugh O’Neill and Arthur Chichester, to Isabella Tod and James Connolly."
NI was just a handy base with some factories, then? No mention of the thousands of Irishmen of all flavours who actually fought? Probably a good thing HMS Belfast ended up in London, this lot would have 'lost' it in the basement.
