The city of Limerick is in mourning following the tragic news of the death of Mr Richard Lunn, son of Mr R. Lunn of Wickham Street, Limerick. Mr Lunn met his untimely demise in action at the Dardanelles on the 6th of August.

Mr Richard Lunn had ventured to Australia some time ago, where he subsequently enlisted with the 4th Battalion Imperial Forces upon the outbreak of the conflict. Displaying valour and commitment to his duty, he arrived at the Dardanelles on the 5th of August, only to meet his fate the very next day.

His loss is deeply felt not only by his family but also by the community of Limerick, who remember him as a brave individual who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to his country. The news of his death serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing sacrifices being made in the theatre of war.

Expressions of sympathy and condolences pour in from across Limerick, as the community comes together to honour the memory of Mr Richard Lunn. His bravery and dedication will be remembered with reverence, as Limerick mourns the loss of one of its own in the conflict at the Dardanelles.
