The dramatic true story of a brave young soldier who laid down his

place and repatriate his remains. On 15 September 1961, eighteen
year old Trooper Patrick Mullins was posted missing after a bloody
ambush of an Irish UN convoy in the Congo. During the fierce
gun-fight, Mullins was killed and his body taken as spoils of war
by the rebel militia. When Ireland finally ended its UN mission in
the Congo Tpr. Mullins' body remained buried in an unknown grave.
With the 50th anniversary of his death fast approaching, the
Mullins family remains caught in the terrible nightmare of
maintaining an empty grave at the foothills of the Galtee
Mountains. This fascinating book describes Mullins' story, the
struggle to find his body, and the difficulties in bringing it
home.
