Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 3 May , 2019 Share Posted 3 May , 2019 I noticed a big surge in deaths commemorated in Ireland in the month of November 1918. Usually, there are some 30-50 deaths per month. November 1918 had 166 deaths. I know it's apples & pears, but November 1917 had 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
