Valour Without Borders: Irish Honour on the Global Battlefield
In this lecture, Patrick Downes, Chair of the Lucas Foundation, explores the remarkable role of the Irish diaspora across centuries of global conflict, right up to the present day. From the legacy of Admiral Lucas, the Wild Geese, and the Fighting 69th, to modern heroes like Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy of the US Navy SEALs, the talk traces the extraordinary honours awarded for valour — including the Victoria Cross, the Medal of Honor, the Légion d'honneur, and others — to Irish-born and Irish-descended individuals serving in foreign forces accross the world.
