The 10th (Irish) Division Memorial


The 10th (Irish) Division Memorial is dedicated to 10th (Irish) Division troops who were amongst the first Allied forces to arrive in Greece and went north alongside the French in support of the Serbian Army. Attacked by overwhelming numbers of Bulgarian troops on 7 December 1915 at Kosturino, the 10th (Irish) Division fell back on Salonika. Here they took part in the construction of the ‘Birdcage’ defence line before going on to serve in the Struma Valley. The division left the Balkans for Palestine during summer 1917.
