Book records sacrifice of those who died in war
Their massive 650-page tome, A Great Sacrifice, was accepted last night on behalf of the people of Cork by Lord Mayor Dara Murphy and county mayor Derry Canty.
The team identified at least 3,784 people from the city or country who died in World War 1, and recorded their name, rank, place and date of birth and death, place of burial. But they also penned a small biography on each individual.
