Take a VR tour of this redbrick terraced home near Sandymount's seafront

Tritonville Avenue was mentioned in James Joyce’s Ulysses.

If you have Google Cardboard or another VR headset, you can enjoy a full 3D experience by tapping the ‘goggles’ icon.

NUMBER FOUR, TRITONVILLE Avenue is tucked away on a small cul-de-sac in Sandymount, Dublin 4. This is perhaps one of Ireland’s most impressive addresses; it’s both close to the city and a tranquil seaside village.

This location is historic for more than just its turn-of-the-century build date: built in 1905, Tritonville Avenue gets a shout out in James Joyce’s masterpiece Ulysses.

However, the two-bedroom property has undergone extensive renovations since, with the most recent round of upgrades completed in 2012.

Inside, the property has retained many period features. The entrance hall and living room give prominence to elegant coving and ceiling roses, and the dining room is home to a statement brick and timber fireplace.

The two double bedrooms are of good size and feature elegant plantation shutters. A top-floor attic area has been converted for storage, though the Velux windows and restored brick wall make it a welcoming space to relax in, too.

    Its about time Irish heroes who fought in the great war, world war 2 and other wars for foreign armies, namely the British army are remembered. Credit has to be given to Myles Dungan and Kevin Myers for their continuous writing on this topic over the years and of course Mary McAleese for the fantastic work she did in her time as president.

    There was great economic pressure at the time of this recruitment, jobs were scare and people thought that the war would be short, It was a bit of an adventure for a lot of them. Unfortunately it did not turn out like that and the Irish suffered the greatest proportion of fatalities per capita of any people in the allied forces. They were treated as cannon fodder, there was nothing noble or heroic about being ordered out in your thousands to climb up a sea cliff while thousands of Ottoman soldiers shoot at you or charging across a bare field at German artillery. I certainly feel pity for them and how they were used. Like Ireland at the time, most of the men from the south in uniform were pro independence and freedom. Some were not, several of the RIC men that opened up on Bloody Sunday had done their service at the front in WW1. Countless men in the IRA, like the great Tom Barry had fought for years in WW1. My own Grand Uncle fought in WW1 and brought back weapons and grenades for my Grand Father’s IRA unit.

    There is nothing heroic in dying in mud at the hands of an enemy miles away in your thousands for a side that had no trouble with you going over first but nor do I despise them. Money was tight, jobs scare and the pressure to join up was massive. I’m just sad that they died the way they did, same as if they had fought for the Czar or the Kaiser.

    Indeed and a poignant point was that Unionist regiments and Nationalist regiments were both seen as Irish by the British colonels and used for first waves attacks.

    A man from Galway or from East Belfast was viewed as just as useful as stopping a German bullet, whatever flag he doodled in letters home.

    “how Irishmen were recruited into British Forces… ” I really get fed up with this lazy post independence language that suggests the irish were dragged into some foreign army. We, like the English, Welsh and Scots simply joined THE Army.
