The Open Door - Birr Military Cemetery & Barracks by Midlands 103 published on 2020-11-11T09:50:55Z Birr Military Cemetery & Barracks: Over 200 years ago Crinkle was a military hub. Akin to Templemore, the Barracks was destroyed by Anti-Treaty forces in 1922. Stephen Callaghan has spent the last 10 years uncovering up to 200 names of unknown people buried in Offaly's only military graveyard. On this episode of the Open Door, Stephen takes us through the area with stories of the children buried there, how an officer shot his Sergeant when he was pushed too far and how did the Clock Tower end up in Australia?
