caption_attribution_description: English: Irish 1916 Somme Cross Memorial Plaque erected together with the original Ginchy Cross in the Irish National War Memorial Gardens for the July 2019 National Commemoration of the Battle of the Somme.
context_page_description: The Irish National War Memorial Gardens is an Irish war memorial in Islandbridge, Dublin, dedicated "to the memory of the 49,400 Irish soldiers who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914–1918", out of over 300,000 Irishmen who served in all armies.
  The Memorial Gardens also commemorate all other Irish men and women who at that time served, fought and died in Irish regiments of the Allied armies, the British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African and United States armies in support of the Triple Entente's war effort against the Central Powers.
context_section_description: In the granite paved pergolas surrounding the Garden are illuminated volumes recording the names of the dead, with artwork by Harry Clarke. These were once publicly accessible, although the threat of vandalism has now resulted in these bookrooms remaining closed except for visits by appointment; their contents can be digitally viewed in an onsite office.
  A wooden cross, the Ginchy Cross, built by the 16th (Irish) Division and originally erected on the Somme to commemorate 4,354 men of the 16th who died in two engagements, is housed in the same building. Three granite replicas of this cross are erected at locations liberated by Irish divisions – Guillemont and Messines-Wytschaete in Belgium, and Thessaloniki in Greece.
