Joint memorial to British soliders unprecedented

Minister Heather Humphreys’, (Irish Examiner April 9) call for a joint permanent memorial to 1916 British Soldiers is a shared history concept gone too far which denigrates those Irish Volunteers who are to be commemorated.

However there is every reason to erect a commemorative memorial in Grangegorman Cemetery where some of those soldiers are buried.

I visited this cemetery in November 2014 and photographed several headstones for their families in the UK. Interestingly one was also prevented by British connections from having a commemorative plaque erected to the memory of the ‘Irish Shot at Dawn’ in Grangegorman Cemetery.
