WWI heros to be remembered in Roll of Honour

An estimated 650 Cavan people lost their lives during World War I and Cavan County Council will launch a roll of honour to commemorate the fallen by the end of the year. Details of the people who died in the Great War will be included in the publication. When completed the roll will be available in libraries throughout the county and a CD version will be available.
