AIF Project - Examples Irish-born enlistments in the AIF Analysis of the records suggests that approximately 3,000 men born in Ireland enlisted for service in the AIF. (An indeterminate number - probably many more - born in Australia of Irish families - also enlisted.) In Northern Ireland there are a number of local war memorials that record such enlistments, eg Ballycastle, Co. Antrim (Photos 1 2 3), where there is also the Anzac Bar (Photo), established by J DELARGY, who served with the British Army. Shankill Cemetery, Lurgan, Co. Armagh (Photos 1 2).
