The exploits of the Royal Munster Fusiliers ('The Dirty Shirts') in World War 1.

Daniel Wyndham, misguided American tourist, has seen the Royal Munster Fusiliers - the Dirty Shirts - go down into the mud of the Western Front.

Now, in the fields of County Cork, he watches a new army being improvised: an Irish army.

Wyndham's romantic dreams still have breath left in them, and to him it seems that the heroes of legend will march once more.

But fighting for Ireland is taking on a new meaning, and 1916 will prove a bad year to be an Irishman in the King's uniform.

John Ware used to work in the construction industry until they made him stop. He now lectures in history in his home town of Cork. He is the author of Dirty Shirt (2020).

Praise for Dirty Shirt by John Ware (published 2020):

"... a fascinating tale - fun, fast and furious" - Irish Examiner

"... a distinguished first novel ... written so well that the military historical instruction it affords is a pleasure to absorb."- The Irish Sword

"Ware has an unerring eye for detail, telling his story not from the point of view of strategy and troop movements, but compassionately and humanely from that of the soldier right there in the trench." - Historical Novel Society
