The Finner Camp, Bundoran: A Glimpse into Ireland's Military Past This evocative photograph offers a captivating view of The Finner Camp, located in the picturesque seaside town of Bundoran, County Donegal, Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image transports us back in time to an era when the camp was a bustling hub of military activity. The Finner Camp was established in 1907, initially as a temporary barracks for the British Army during the Ulster Crisis. However, it later became a permanent garrison, serving as a significant military installation until the 1920s. The camp was strategically situated near the coast, offering easy access to the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged terrain of County Donegal. In this photograph, we see a panoramic view of the camp, with numerous tents erected in neat rows, creating a sense of order amidst the natural beauty of the surroundings. Soldiers can be seen going about their daily routines, while horses and wagons are stationed nearby, ready for deployment. The camp's proximity to the sea is evident in the distant view of the Atlantic Ocean, its waves crashing against the rocky shoreline. The Finner Camp played a crucial role in Ireland's military history, particularly during the Easter Rising of 1916 and the War of Independence. Today, the site stands as a poignant reminder of the past, with many of the original structures still standing and serving as a popular tourist attraction. This photograph provides a unique glimpse into Ireland's military history, offering a fascinating insight into a bygone era.
