1. Year of the Disappearances gives a list for Cork only from Dept of Defence papers MA A/07304
2. There are at least two relevant sets of papers in Dublin that need to be examined to investigate the missing soldiers. Collins Papers of the Missing A0909 , and A07304 (suspected deserters). Excerpts from Collins Papers show that there was reluctance by the British to get involved in the business of bodies in bogs. I have the complete Collins Papers of the Missing A0909, which appears to cover higher profile cases that the British were pursuing for whatever reason. Included were men known to have been abducted and those missing and whose relatives were anxious about them.
