In today Times newspaper there is a notice in the memorial section. It mentions 12 men executed in Feb 1915 by the Germans It looks as if they all came from Irish regiments. I have googled but can find nothing on it. Any ideas anyone?
I'd type or post the full article for starters. You may be able to trace them via Geoff's WW1 Search Engine.

How about "The Iron Twelve"? Thanks Idler, A very interesting story. As for raising money for a memorial,is`nt that what the lottery fund should be used for? These people should be honoured
No problem. Have you had a look at the linked 'Stand To' article - it looks rather substantial? Given that most were from what became the Republic, I wonder to what extent their memory was a victim of postwar Irish politics? Maybe it's in the article, I ought to read it, really...
