As we have just "celebrated" the war-dead from all conflicts, I have just one question that I would love answered by anyone north or south in Ireland: where are the war memorials to the Irish Catholics who fought in The Great War?
We have just recently found out that we had a great uncle who died during the Great War, on June 8, 1917, but we can't seem to find out where his name is on any cenotaph or war memorial.
We have tried the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, so far.
He joined the Connaught Rangers, No 4684, and was moved to the Royal Irish Fusiliers, No 43090, when the majority of the Rangers were wiped out.
His name was Danny Cassidy of Whitehouse, Co Antrim, and he joined the Connaught Rangers in Belfast city in 1914 and died on June 8, 1917, from his wounds.
Should there be a memorial in both Belfast and Dublin to these WW1 heroes?
