A Family Remembers

Peter's three brothers were away fighting in WWI when a stray bullet came through the window at his home in Usher's Island, on the quays in Dublin.  He was hit in the jaw and died without medical attention on his way to Jervis Street Hospital.  It was his uncle who retrieved his body from the Corporation and oversaw the burial in Glasnevin Cemetery.  His is the only body in that grave.  There is no headstone or marker. Please give what you can to redress this and help us place a marker on his grave.  Every little helps and all donations are anonymous and confidential.  

Thank you, 
Peter's grand niece, Michelle Burrowes.
