AUDIO: Meeke & The Major Drama

67 views

An original work telling the gripping story of Private John Meeke MM (36th Ulster Divison). A proud Orangeman, Meeke threw differences aside when he embarked on the heroic battlefield rescue of committed Irish National and Westminster MP, Major William Redmond. The impact made by this courageous act of heroism was such that it’s ripples are still being felt today; across towns, communities and the families of Meeke and Redmond. For the first time, this staggering tale of bravery and humanity will be told far and wide through a powerful combination of song and poem. A story that will invite you in to share in the drama and the horror of war, but most of all remind you that on the battlefield backgrounds are forgotten, lines are crossed and legends are made.
