When The Virgin Falls

This is the First World War through the eyes of Denis

Patrick Kelly, soldier of the 2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers,

from 22nd April, 1914, until the close of the war on 11th

November, 1918.

Denis Kelly went to war on the day his wife gave birth

to a healthy boy, and through sheer luck and good fortune

did survive the war having experienced the horrors that

were the Retreat from Mons, Ypres, The Somme,

Langemarck, La Cateau, Loos, Messines, St Quentin and

much, much more.

This is a vivid account of what he went through during

four years of heinous tragedy.
