Over There' Again

On January 26, 1942, the first American forces arrived in Ireland during World War II, led by Major General Russell P. Hartl. The arrival was part of a broader deployment of American expeditionary forces worldwide, as announced by President Roosevelt. The troops, a mix of city and farm boys, were welcomed officially by British and Irish officials. Many were draftees, reminiscent of their fathers' participation in previous wars. The video reflects on the soldiers' experiences and the historical parallels with past conflicts.
