Newspaper find ‘keeps soldier’s memory alive’

A 105-year-old Australian newspaper, containing a feature about a young soldier from Limerick killed in action during the First World War, has been donated to the Glucksman Library archive collection.

Discovered by a collector of First World War memorabilia, the copy of the Sydney Herald from 1915 includes a feature about Thomas Noonan, a Limerick native who died in service at Gallipoli at the age of 23.
