Subject: From the heir to one of Wexford's most iconic castles, killed in the early months of WW1 (September 1914), to a van-driver from Allen Street, Wexford, killed the day before the Armistice in November 1918, 'Faith, Hope and Calamity' over two volumes documents over seventy men and two women's from Wexford who signed up and served in WW1. While commemorated on stone or printed on lists, their stories were mostly forgotten. Faith in the leaders of the day, their hopes when signing up and the calamitous effects this global conflagration had on themselves, their families and their communities are discussed. Their lives mattered!

Pat Hackett is both a proud native of the Selskar District of Wexford and a true "Yellow Belly." For some thirty years, he lived within the ancient walls of Wexford town before moving to the suburbs. A schoolteacher by profession, he taught in his childhood "alma mater" Wexford C.B.S. for twenty-three years. Later, he was the Teaching Principal of both Oylegate and Curracloe National Schools. Currently, the Secretary of the Wexford Historical Society, having served as Chairperson for five years from 2019 to 2024, Pat has a lifelong interest in history, the stories and the people of Wexford town and county. Liam Turner grew up and lived on Belvedere Road, Wexford, for twenty-two years. He spent fourteen years on the teaching staff in Coolcotts (with two years teaching in Santiago de Compostela) before moving to Court N.S. in Monamolin. He worked as Principal of Camolin and Newbawn National Schools, before finishing his teaching career as the first lay Principal of St. John of God School, The Faythe, Wexford. An accomplished sportsman when hurling and football were played 'in black and white', Liam too has a huge interest in all things "History" and especially in the story of his native place.
