"It will never be known what acts of cowardice have been committed for fear of not looking sufficiently progressive." (Charles Pierre Péguy , 1905)
On 27th July 1960 the first element of 32nd Battalion took off from Dublin set for the Congo. This was the beginning of a four year commitment to service in the Congo where over 6000 Irishmen served between 1960 - 1964. During the course of this overseas mission 26 Irish soldiers lost their lives.
