[Verginius Rufus]

The highest-ranking Irishman to serve in the US Civil War was Patrick Cleburn, born in Killumney (Co. Cork) in 1828, died at the battle of Franklin on Nov. 30, 1864. He rose from private to general. Nothing to commemorate him in his birthplace?

There is a plaque denoting Cleburne’s birthplace on Bride Park Cottage in Killumney.
