'Pardon Me Boy: The Americans in Ulster 1942-45' is a pictorial journey through 3 years of US service personnel in Northern Ireland. With images from the press and private collections, it shows American life in wartime Ulster.
Throughout these years, members of the United States military prepared for war in Europe and North Africa. The landscape of Northern Ireland was their training ground and over 300,000 troops passed through. The cultural landscape, as well as the natural one, was forever changed with the arrival of the American GIs. They brought an air of Hollywood glamour to rural villages across the six counties, and in some cases brought a Northern Irish woman home with them at the wars’ end.
