Memorial honours fallen of multiple conflicts

Soldiers who fell during the First World War are being honoured collectively in name for the first time with a memorial wall in the Cork cemetery where they lie.

A new memorial wall has just been installed in the old military cemetery overlooking Blackpool, previously attached to the old Victoria Barracks (now Collins Barracks) from where many local soldiers shipped out to battle a century ago.

The 83 names of men and women inscribed in the wall are all buried there, but were not all local, or even Irish.
