Chair: Paul Daley


Too young to shave and still wearing short pants, boys as young
as 13 lined up and lied about their age to volunteer in the
Second World War. These boys must have forgotten the horrors
their fathers and grandfathers endured in the First World War or
not understood their true impact. Paul Byrnes shares some of
these tragic and deeply moving personal stories with Paul Daley,
a journalist and author with an abiding interest in history and
national identity.


Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 12:00pm on the East
