2016-2017 National LAOH Irish History Writing Contest Winners

As National Irish Historian, I am honored to announce the Winners of the 2016-2017 National Irish History Writing Contest. The theme for the writing contest this year was “The Role of the Irish in World War I”.  I had four history professors judge the essays and The Head History Judge said, “We have never seen such well written and researched essays yet the student’s demonstrated understanding of the historical, political, religious and cultural forces influencing the role of the Irish in WWI.  Excellent work from all.
