Bishop calls for single united monument as he honours five Corkmen killed on war’s last day

The Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross believes the time has come for the creation of one single monument in Cork to “memorialise the humanity” of the county’s estimated 4,200 victims of the First World War.

Bishop Paul Colton raised the issue during his oration at an Armistice commemoration at the Cenotaph on the South Mall yesterday.
