Tomorrow April 25th is Anzac Day, to mark the
centenary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzacs) on
the Turkish shores of Gallipoli on 25 April, 1915.
The current World War One Exhibition in Drogheda Museum
Millmount, notes that two Drogheda men died on that day, 100 years ago. Private
Stephen Byrne aged 40 from the Marsh Road a member of the Royal Dublin Regiment
killed at Gallipoli and Private Owen Farrell aged 20 from Patrick Street, a
