    Many thanks in advance.
    It seems to have been and still is policy to ignore Free State casualties. I recently posted a picture of a memorial near Rosegreen, Co. Tipperary which commemorates two dead Irregulars and ignores a Free State Soldier who died in the same action.

    I think there is two rolls of honours next to Michael Collins's grave in Glasnevin Cemetery
    one for those who died in the army and one for those who died while on service with the UN.

    Mellows Bks in Renmore is named after a soldier of the Civil War...... who fought for the anti-treaty side.

    There's a big memorial near Clonaslee in Laois to a man "murdered by Free Staters", but it's that kind of place.
