Sergeant Robbie Delaney discusses the restoration of the 18 Pound Field gun 9168

From its production in England and war service in France, to its role in the Irish Civil War on the streets of Dublin and onwards to a quiet field of ivy behind the Lazy Susan Dinner Theatre in Virginia, USA, the story of 18pdr field gun number 9168 is a fascinating relic of Ireland’s early years of independence. This artefact went on display for the first time in the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, on the 9th of February 2022.
