The Irish Hospital at St Lo (1945-46)
Phyllis Gaffney
 | "...the Irish Red Cross set up a hospital at Saint-Lô in northern France after the end of the Second World War. Today, that humanitarian effort is best known for the involvement of one S. Beckett, storeman, as a photograph of the time in the Irish Independent described him. Yet there's much more to the Saint-Lô story than Beckett. Its told here in fine clarity and in abundant, but not superfluous detail."

A&A Farmar's World — The good old days
‘I have not been so pitifully tired with any vanity as silly old men declaiming against these times, and extolling their own. Alas! they betray themselves, for if the times be changed, their manners have changed them.’ (John Donne, Paradoxes and Problems)
