Detail InformationEdit

Grangegorman Military Cemetery is a British military cemetery in Dublin, Ireland. It is located on Blackhorse Avenue, off the Navan Road and beside the Phoenix Park.Battalion badges are marked on the headstones along with the name of the person buried, their rank and the date of their death, while a very few have personal inscriptions. The Dublin Fusiliers have, unsurprisingly, a large number of their members and their closest relatives buried in the graveyard. Mature trees and well-maintained lawns create a reflective atmosphere.
Situated beside the Phoenix Park, the cemetery’s current comparative anonymity has more to do with those buried there than with its location. It was forgotten after independence in a country forged from a bitter conflict with the British Army, as many viewed the Irishmen who had fought in the British Army as traitors.Some of the graves were re-located to this site at a later date (nine from King George V Hospital grounds, two from Trinity College grounds, three from Portobello (Barracks) Cemetery, two from Drogheda (Little Calvary) Cemetery and one from Oranmore Old Graveyard). The Irish Times remarked upon ‘one of the 1916 Rising’s unresolved mysteries. Why did the bodies of five British officers lie, apparently unclaimed and forgotten, in waste ground in central Dublin for 46 years’ Their bodies were then discovered and interred in Grangegorman.
