In 1914, Willie Dunne, barely eighteen years old, leaves behind Dublin, his family, and the girl he plans to marry in order to enlist in the Allied forces and face the Germans on the Western Front.
On the day of memory there are several celebrations throughout the country and two minutes of silence are observed at precisely the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month because that was when the armistice became effective on the western front.
The combat life of the Pup was short and it was eventually outclassed by newer German fighters, but it was not completely replaced on the Western Front until the end of 1917.
After the disastrous final German offensive, tanks were used at the Battle of Soissons and the Battle of Amiens, which ended the stalemate imposed by trench warfare on the Western Front, and thus effectively ended the war.
Three days before his death on the Western Front in the First World War, the twenty-one-year-old Jones sent a letter to his brother, describing the experience of war in glowing terms.
Germany's great offensives on the Western Front during April-July failed, and the Allied forces then began a steady advance that recovered almost all of German-occupied France and part of Belgium by October 1918.
