ILLUSTRATED TALK: Badge, Brooch or Pin: a study of Cumann na mBan insignia, 1914-1923
September 15, 2018 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm UTC+0
Free
Founded in 1914 as a female auxiliary to the Irish Volunteers, Cumann na mBan adopted a badge featuring a rifle intertwined with the letters ‘C na mB’. Join Paul Gosling, GMIT and Ailbhe Rogers, Maynooth University as they explore the origins and design of these badges from base-metal emblems of membership to mementos of service made from the finest materials.
If you happen to have a Cumann na mBan badge please bring it along with its story.
