Pupils from Edmund Rice College travelled to Belgium to perform as part of the Harmony North Choir at the Battle of Messines Commemoration.
On 7 June 1917, men from the mainly Protestant/unionist Ulster Division and soldiers from the mostly Catholic/nationalist Irish Division marched together along the Kemmel Road into battle at Messines Ridge.
At that time, there were great hopes that the shared objectives and experiences of the Ulster and Irish divisions would lead to a better understanding between the two traditions in Ireland.
Harmony North, a cross community choir has and continues to develop friendships among the pupils from ten schools across the community in North Belfast.
