Women going to kind of the front line.
Sophie CooperGUEST
There's a really cool memorial in Washington, D.C. called Nuns of the Battlefield, which was put up in 1924, which is funded by the ladies' auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
Sophie CooperGUEST
So these Irish women clearly felt it was important to commemorate these women religiously.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I think we have many listeners actually in the D.C. area.
Robert MoonHOST
What is the name of this memorial, please?
Sophie CooperGUEST
It's Nuns of the Battlefield by Jerome Connor, and I believe it is at the intersection of Rhode Island Avenue Northwest, M Street, and Connecticut Avenue Northwest in D.C.
Robert MoonHOST
Okay, I know where that is.
