The base was a veritable village with accommodation, hospital, medics, post office, YMCA Hall, radio towers, electricity generating plant and very large aircraft hangers. Although only operational for a limited period, its impact on the town of Wexford was considerable and its achievements  in the global conflict were significant, protecting shipping, both naval and commercial, from the German u-boats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo mark the impending 100-year anniversary of this base, this book by local historian Liam Gaul recalls this often-overlooked aspect of Ireland's involvement in the First World War.","brand":"Gaul, Liam","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47488259326291,"sku":"XV80750983518","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":44354814837026,"sku":"9780750983518","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/gaul-liam-liam-gaul-wings-over-wexford-2017-paperback-53679518056787.jpg?v=1703673136","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/wings-over-wexford-tpb-z22","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
