    Currently we have 17 members who meet monthly, only started in March this year, we have had Tom Burnell visit with paraphernalia from WW1, a tour and lecture on Kickham Barracks and this month on the 28th in Slievenamon Golf Club at 8pm, our Sec Michael Dolan will be giving a lecture on Military Memorials in Tipperary. We plan on visiting France/Belgium next year specifically to visit sites where the 6th Batt Royal Irish Regiment fought and visit graves of Tipperary men who were killed in action. As you can see a lot happening, well worth joining
