Joe Walsh Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Is anyone able to tell me anything about Pte Henry Edward Coonan born c.1876, Labour Corps? My grandfather's brother. Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verrico2009 Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 The only Henry (H or HE) Coonan I could find in the Labour Corps, Joe:- Name: Henry Coonan Regiment or Corps: Labour Corps Regimental Number: 206360 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...Edoc_Id=2085677 Does, of course, depend on whether he served abroad. Can't see any obvious service papers on a quick trawl. Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 In which case you also have his regiment and number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verrico2009 Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Hopefully that's him, Joe. I take it he's the man you have in your sig as KIA. Is he a non-com: not on his MIC (though I appreciate it wasn't always) but couldn't find him on CWGC or SDGW. Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've hence found out he died in 1966 in Australia. I must have mixed up another Henry Coonan in the records with my one. I really don't know, I haven't been on here in about a year so I've forgotten a lot. Apologies. I havent got his medals with me so I can't provide that information.

John_Hartley Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 so I've forgotten a lot. Including about asking the same question about Henry in your July 2009 thread and your February 2009 thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
