Yesterday the 90th Anniversary of the formal establishment of the Army Nursing Service was commemorated with the launch of a Commemorative Booklet and a Mass held in the Garrison Church Curragh Camp. In 1922, the Army Nursing Service was initiated to take over Military Hospitals on behalf of the emerging Irish State from the withdrawing British military. The service continued on an ad hoc basis through 1922 and 23 until it was formally established in 1924 within the overall establishment of Óglaigh na hÉireann. Such an occasion allowed the Defence Forces to bestow our gratitude to the enormous contribution made by the many members of the Army Nursing Service past and present (734 in total). An album of high resolution, copyright free photos of the Army Nursing Service through the years is available on the following link; https://flickr/photos/dfmagazine/sets/72157649653591912/
