I hope that the following may be of interest to some researcher - Kevin Daniel Byrne-Rothwell mentioned a list of Commonwealth War Dead memorialised in Taghmon (St. Munna's) and Alan Davis researched them, 20 January 2010, at request of Kevin Byrne. The 12 persons named below all lost their lives, and at least 6 came from Wexford. Many more Byrnes must have served, perhaps about 36 in all, since the average death rate for Irish soldiers in WWI was 1:6.
