Tipperary Studies has launched a new platform entitled The Irish Great War Dead Archive, at https://irelandsgreatwardead.ie.
From the site:
Military Historian Tom Burnell (author of ‘The War Dead’ series and ‘Irishmen in the Great War’) presented to Tipperary Studies a most valuable and unique database of the names of Servicemen with connections to Ireland who died in the Great War, 1914-1918.
It is still a work in progress and so far the details of servicemen from the counties representing the Republic of Ireland have been completed, in so far as the information is known. Work continues to record the names of the Great War dead from the six counties in Northern Ireland.
It has taken Tom twenty years of research so far, and he believes the time is now right to release his database to a wider audience.
A search for my wife's great uncle Martin Colleton from Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary, includes regimental details with the Connaught Rangers, his date of death and where commemorated, information on his family, and a newspaper article mentioning his death, as recorded in two local newspapers at the time.
