Mayo Memorial and Peace Park, Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland

Every once in a while we get an email to the site asking for help. We are, of course, only too glad to help out when we can. I reprint the and we wanted to share it with you. It follows:

My name is Martin Coyle I undertake voluntary Research for the Mayo Memorial. It is a non political non sectarian project. Are aim is to find and Remember all County Mayo Personnel who have lost there lives in conflict anywhere in the World, no matter what uniform they wore or traditions they followed from the Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, Merchant Navy, Medical Staff, Clergy and Civilians who were from County Mayo Republic of Ireland.  The Website is: http://www.mayomemorialpeacepark.org

The Memorial was opened by the President of Ireland Mary McAleese in October 2008 it contains the names of 1,114 to Date. We believe there are some names which have being Forgotten and they need to be added to the Memorial Wall so we are asking all Groups and Organisations to forward there names to this site they will be added in due course. The most recent being Marine Robert McKibben RM. Who lost his life in Afghanistan in November last Year.
