Table 1: Staff, students, and graduates of University College Dublin from the National University of Ireland War List, Roll of Honour, 1919


Staff, students, and graduates of University College Dublin from the National University of Ireland War List, Roll of Honour, 1919. This table presents the names and details of the 488 members of the UCD community (including graduates of the Royal University of Ireland) who served in the British and Imperial Forces during the First World War. It is worth noting that two thirds of the individuals listed were serving in medical rather than combat appointments. Data presented includes the name, rank, and unit of the individuals lists along with details of the award of degree, years of study, or staff appointment of the individual in question. In addition, details of military honours and distinctions, promotions, and the status of the individual (killed, wounded, missing) are presented. The data is correct to 1919 and, as noted in the original Roll of Honour, may be incomplete in some instances including ‘owing to the difficulty in obtaining the names of Past Students’.
