Hi RDF,e25 is certainly a bargain for that.Would you mind telling me what three men's names are on the medals.Also to let you know that Tom Burnell has also another War Dead book released called the Offaly War Dead,this is the fourth book in the series with more to follow and Is also worth having,it should be retailing around e20.

the KIAs are
John Kenneally 4129 7th Batt Leinster Regiment KIA age 39 15th september 1916 his younger brother Robert was 2nd Batt Leinsters killed 20 October 1914.
Serjeant Patrick Flynn 9572 2nd Batt Irish Rifles 26 October 1914 age 20
Michael Boylan 1st Batt Irish Guards 15 September1916.

i have seen those 4 war dead books and hope to pick them up at some stage.

Lads.
Take it from me, it is cheaper to buy the War Dead books on ebay than it is in the shops, and that incudes postage to your house. Think recession.

Will be launched 28 November, most likely in Dungarvan Fort. It covers the 1125 Waterford casualties who died during ww1.
I am happy to do lookups for Offaly, Tipp, Laois, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Waterford, Wicklow, Kerry and Clare. All of which are now logged. Clare, Carlow, Kilkenny and Laois are completed but yet to be published. At least three of these wll be available next year.
Regards.
Tom.

Found this headstone Tom in St.Lawrences in Limerick if it's of any use to you.Probably too late at this stage.
