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.
