this has to be one of the best threads here on IMO
regards and congrats to GH and the rest of the lads

I was in Cobh this week end and i legged it out to see the Luisitania MemorialThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Anyway the cemetery contains 80 odd WW1 burials including a Belgian Soldier whom I missed. Most of them are Navy types. In addition there are three mass graves from the Lusitania, a Screen Wall memorial to the merchant seamen and women killed on the liner, a memorial and plot to the men killed on HMS Mars in 1902 and another to those killed on Submarine A5 in 1905. Another mass grave holds the bodies of 17 sailors who died on a RN ship in Cobh in 1805.

The "HMS Mars" Memorial. The crosses in the background mark the A5 Plot.
And one of the headstones of the dead crewmen.

There is another monument there to an Admiral stationed on Haulbowline in the early years of the last century. I must add the photos I took from there to this collection. It is an amazing graveyard. So much history in a small place.
Nice to see the Commonwealth War Graves paying attention to the headstones too.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

In commemeration of the battle of Mount Street Bridge and in honour of the Irish volunteers who gallantly gave their lives in this area in defence of The Irish Republic, Easter week 1916.
Remember their sacrifice and be true to their ideals.
God rest the brave.
