Comments:

Edmond 'Ned' Brunnock (28) -- a native of Doon, Araglin, on the Cork-Tipperary border -- emigrated to Dorchester in Massachusetts. He enlisted in the US army in February 1918 and was shipped to the trenches in France.
His unit -- the 306th Infantry Regiment, 77th Infantry Division -- was involved in a brutal battle with German troops at St Hubert near Boureuilles on the Franco-German border on September 28, less than two months before the armistice.
Edmond suffered severe injuries as he fought to save several comrades -- and died of his wounds four days later on October 1.
He was just two months short of his 29th birthday.
Born in Doon, Ireland. Son of Thomas and Bridget Brunnock. Immigrated to Boston, Massachusetts. Died in France in 1918.
