Description | Cartoon shows Eamon de Valera, Prime Minister of Eire (the Irish Free State), holding a sign reading "No Allied Bases in Eire," as he struggles against a gale labeled "Defeat the Axis." A placard reads "Food for Ireland Convoyed by British Ships." During World War II, Eire remained defiantly neutral, despite Allied pressure and the fact that Allied convoys brought supplies for the Irish as well as for Britain. |
