A ceremony is to take place in South Tipperary this weekend to honour an Irishman who died fighting for the US army in World War One.
Edmond Brunnock was born in Araglin on the Cork – Tipperary border near Ballyporeen in 1889.
He emigrated to Boston in 1912 and enlisted in the U.S army a few years later.
Edmond was killed in action along with a large number of soldiers from the 306th Division at Boureuilles in February 1918.
His body was disinterred from a mass grave in 1922 and brought back to Ireland where he was reburied in Shanrahan Cemetery in Clogheen in the same plot as his father.
A special US army grave marker will be erected alongside his headstone on Sunday next.
