Private James Crozier. 07:05 / 27.2.1916. Le Domaine des Cordeliers, Mailly-Maillet, Picardie. The titles for Chloe Dewe Mathews photographs of 1st world war execution sites contain only the stark details recorded in the official records. Behind them lie a plethora of stories of young men, shot by their own sides for cowardice or desertion, often after murky courts martial. Mostly what we know for certain is what also know about Dewe Mathews's photos, that they were shot at a specific locations, at dawn. On Wednesday, 27th January, 2016, Prof Alex Danchev of the School of International Relations, University of St Andrews, will give a Lecture at IMMA, Kilmainham titled: Shot at Dawn: Moral Witness.
