Also enclosed is an alphabetical list of nearly 4,000 Clare men and women who participated in the War, an index of where they came from, a timeline of when and where the 680+ died, and 90 pages of photos of the 251 cemeteries and memorials throughout the world where the Clare War Dead are buried or remembered.
