Digital project profiles 528 who died in Cork during War of Independence

A new history project is the first to attempt to identify and detail every individual killed in County Cork during the Irish War of Independence, writes Professor Emeritus James S. Donnelly, Jr.

LAUNCHED this week “Cork’s War of Independence Fatality Register” records the details of 528 individuals who died as a result of the conflict from the beginning of 1919 to the truce of July 1921.

The findings are available as the latest reosurce in an ever growing resource collection available at theirishrevolution.ie, a collaboration between the Irish Examiner and University College Cork.
