Records show that about 12,400 Corkmen served in the British Army in that war, and 4 of these won Victoria Crosses. Winin 2 years of that war's end, G.B. would 'return the favor' to these Corkonians by stationing 10,000 Crown Forces in their city and county. In 1920 2 Mayors of Cork would loose their lives to the British and in late Dec. of 1920 and early Jan. of '21 the forces of occupation burned a large portion of that city. On 28 Feb., 1921, six I.R.A. Volunteers were executed by British firing squads, one man at a time.

An estimated 80,000 Irish natives served in the British Army in the Great War, 40,000 of whom are said to have been killed.

We don't know if these young heroes lef wills, but ther Irish grandnephews and grandnieces should now be allowed to cash in on the supreme sacrifices by obtaining permanent U.S. visas if they wish.
