The Irish United Nations Veterans Association (IUNVA) will honour soldiers of the Defence Forces who served with the United Nations in the Republic of Congo, 1960 to 1964. This is the 50th anniversary of the end of the mission.
A large number of personnel stationed in Kickham Barracks Clonmel served on this mission.
IUNVA will present Certificates of Appreciation to surviving Congo veterans at a ceremony to be held in Sarsfield Barracks, Limerick at 2pm on Thursday, May 23 to mark the occasion.
For further information for personnel from the Tipperary area, contact Tony Marshall, tel. 087-6795774 or e mail iunvapost24@gmail.com
If a surviving veteran is unable to attend for any reason, they or a family member can request IUNVA for the certificate to be presented at a later date.
Veterans attending the ceremony will be allowed to bring two guests. This number will be strictly applied, as there is a limit in the numbers that can attend.
It is not possible at this time to invite family members of deceased veterans. However, IUNVA will process requests from families for certificates for deceased family members in due course.
