naval warfare
the early part of the 19th century from 1815 to 1848 saw a long period of peace in europe, accompanied by extraordinary industrial expansion. the industrial age brought about various technological advancements, each with their own implication. land warfare moved from visual-range and semi person-to-person combat of the previous era, to indiscriminate and impersonal, "beyond visual range" warfare. the crimean war (1853–1856) saw the introduction of trench warfare, long-range artillery, railroads, the telegraph and the rifle. the mechanized mass-destruction of enemy combatants grew ever more deadly. in wwi (1914–1918) machine-guns, barbed wire, chemical weapons and land-mines entered the battlefield. the deadly stalemated trench-warfare stage was finally passed with the advent of the modern armored tank late in wwi.

in 2012, miriam o'gara-kilmurry m.a., author of "eire's wwi war poet: f. e. ledwidge", was awarded a masters in literature from the open university for a thesis on francis ledwidge titled, "a defence of francis ledwidge as a war poet through an exploration of war imagery, nationalism and canonical revisions." while researching her thesis she observed that until 2011, ledwidge had no 'wwi war poet' presence online, and noted too that no searches containing the specific words 'irish wwi war poets' turned up any results. ledwidge's poems written from front-lines received little if no attention as examples of unique nationalist 'hybrid' war poems. this had been the case for almost a century and other evidence and arguments in support of him being deserving of the title had no public profile at this time. on the 'eve of all ireland poetry day', 2 october 2013, miriam was invited by the national library of ireland to deliver a lecture titled, "francis ledwidge: wwi irish nationalist war poet". here she invited the library, media and politicians to consider a dialogue on this and related subjects. the arrival of 2014 and centenary wwi commemorations saw some movement, with online sites finally beginning to reference ledwidge as a war poet. in 2016, her thesis remains a trailblazing defence of ledwidge as a world war i war poet through an exploration of war imagery, nationalism and canonical revisions. in 2016, the thesis was published as a book, "eire's wwi war poet: f. e. ledwidge". according to o'gara-kilmurry:
