I'm sure De Ruvigny's roll of honour used to be there, but now it isn't. Any clues?

What I did find was Ireland Casualties 1914 - 1918. Not much Interest I thought until I put in Gordon Highlanders for a search and got 85 hits. For KOSB there is 120 odd. What you get is nicely illustrated pages from a book (391 pages) 'Ireland's Memorial Records 1914 - 1918'. Anyone know anything about this book?

De Ruvigny's roll is still there. Check the " more " link at the bottom of the displayed list.

The Irish books are similar to those of Canada and lists those Irishmen in the British Army including the Gordons and KOSB men you found.

Nope, still can't find de Ruvigny, furthermore I can't find it by searching for title either. Anyone else having a problem?

I can still see it - it lists ninth down in the military category.
