Women on new memorials in Ireland

[Michael Pegum]

Two new memorials in Kilkenny City have the names of 35 women who served in WW I, five of whom died. The memorials can be seen, with transcripts of the inscriptions, at

http://www.irishwarmemorials.ie/Place-Detail?siteId=580 (those from Co. Kilkenny who died) and http://www.irishwarmemorials.ie/Place-Detail?siteId=586 - all who served, including the casualties.

The names are given in a post below, due to formatting problems

I haven't looked at the listing other than a cursory glance but there is at least one further casualty not shown as such. She is Caroline Robinette, QAIMNS, who died 30th March 1917 and is commemorated by the CWGC.
