RHMS Postcard

In tribute to the first and most celebrated of all military schools, the one whose many registers and records were destroyed in the London Blitz of 1940, artist Peter Goble has created this captivating and charming postcard of the Royal Hibernian Military School that existed from 1765 until 1924 when the Republic of Ireland came into existence.
