Where could one find a list of veterans from Co. Cavan who went to WWI. Grand-uncle was killed, no records other than his medals were returned to family home and destroyed. Don't have date of birth, only address.

It is probably a good idea to just post his name on here and get someone to look him up.
He will have a medal card and because he died in service a commonwealth war grave (sometimes there are great details on them like age of death) Also a general google for Cavan and his name might uncover something
Here is the link to the war graves

Wemyss/Crombie/Laing/Blyth (West Wemyss)
Givens/Normand (Dysart)
Clark/Lister (Dysart)
Wilkinson/Simson (Kettle or Kettlehill)
