Another ÉIRE sign from World War II has been uncovered

Image: Folklore.ie Image: Folklore.ie ANOTHER LOST WORLD War II Éire sign has been discovered – this time on Hook Head in Wexford.

There are seven signs in total and local historian Michael Fortune, from Kilmuckridge, is determined to find the remaining five. Fortune said: “This is great news for Wexford as this is second of the seven uncovered in a few days. We are informing relevant authorities of exact location, size etc and all we can do now, is encourage locals to do the rest.

“We all work during the week so we can only head out on weekend excursions. Last August, I decided for the craic and with the help of a Polish man and some others from the county to go looking for the Cahore sign and thankfully we found it a couple of weekends ago. They are just brilliant finds.

A small lookout post hut – where soldiers and volunteers recorded all air and sea movements during 1939-45 in a day book – were erected according to military archives at Cathal Brugha Barracks in Dublin.
