The Great War of 1914-18 claimed countless lives on the battlefield. But it also left a stream of men who returned home sick or wounded, destined to die as a result of their experiences.
Cork City has its fair share of such cases. These men will have been buried locally but were never commemorated as War Dead. They are entitled to War Grave status - if proof of burial can be established.
I attach a list of six such cases. Does anyone know where any of these Forgotten Soldiers are buried?
DANIEL BRADLEY, died 15 Jan 1921. Lived at 6 Harrington Square,
JOHN BARRETT, died 25 Aug 1918, Lived at 56 Grattan Street.
MICHAEL DUGGAN, died 25 Feb 1917. Lived at 7 Sullivans Lane, Barrack Street.
CHARLES McCARTHY, died 15 Oct 1919. Lived at 18 North Brunswick Street.
WILLIAM MULCAHY. died 26 March 1917. Lived at 3 Riordan's Court
EUGENE O'SULLIVAN, died 6 Oct 1919. Lived at 7 Grattan Hill.
Any help regarding ANY of these men would be warmly welcomed.
Thank you.

Charles McCarthy has a death notice in the Irish Examiner, son of the late DJ McCarthy Bellevue Sunday’s Well.
Funeral strictly private.
Another death in 1947 with the 'late Bellevue etc' Nellie daughter of Ellen and Daniel but again strictly private, this family don't want to be found.

all deaths on church records
http://www.genealogy.ie
Daniel died Bronchitis The Mercy Hosptial
John died Bronchitis at home
Michael died TB at st Patrick Hospital
Charles died Bronchitis Cork st Hospital more then one Charles ID no 5739125
William dies Bronchitis Cork District Hospital more than one William ID no 5745538
seems to be a lot of men coming back from first world war and cannot find were they buried need some one in goverment to get involved in this and find were they are buried, but because more than one man died in hospital the hospital must have some idea were they are buried. Could get one of the papers to an piece regarding this.

William Mulcahy 2nd RMF 3 Riordan's Court has a 1st Anniversary notice in the Irish Examiner on 14 July 1917 also mentioned is his late father William Mulcahy RE who died of wounds received in action in France on 15 July 1916.
Bit confusing if the father or the son died in France.
I assume it the son died in France and it's the father's burial you're looking for?

Why? Death certificates don't list place of burial. Once an undertaker removes the body the hospital had no reason to trace the deceased further.
