I am trying to find the location of the burial of Harold Thompson who was killed in Co Cork on 14 May 1921.

Cause of death was 'gunshot wounds homicidal'

Various newspaper reports say he and Constable Thomas Cronin (his & other deaths on next page of register) died instantly. Haven't found anything mentioning his funeral yet.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
