    You can probably see why I forgot I went there earlier this year. This is the entire display for WW2 in the recently revamped building. A Home front exhibit.

    "MODERN HISTORY 1500 - 1968
    Modern History is arranged around noteworthy events and themes telling the story of the historic province of Ulster from 1500 to 1968. Objects on display include the Dungiven costume, a rare 16th-century garment recovered from a bog, and the sword of Henry Joy McCracken, prominent United Irishman hanged in 1798. Many of the objects are directly connected to key events and personalities from the past 500 years – from Hugh O’Neill and Arthur Chichester, to Isabella Tod and James Connolly."

    Some rather 'out of period' items in the medical kit too, I think.

    NI was just a handy base with some factories, then? No mention of the thousands of Irishmen of all flavours who actually fought?
    Probably a good thing HMS Belfast ended up in London, this lot would have 'lost' it in the basement.
