Help with MIC or papers on Irish Guards

[The Guardroom]

Can anyone help provide any info or papers on 7991 Pte. Patrick Devine Irish Guards.

I have checked teh CWGC site and he is not listed.

Does the service number indicate any date of joining perhaps 1915 ?

Many thanks,

Alan

Thanks Sam.

Was hoping someone may be able to check Ancestry as know teh MIC's are one it and may hit lucky with service papers.

Do you know if the Guards HQ can supply papers if a donation is made to the Regimental fund.

Gary,

Thanks for this entry date and clasp number which is great info.

Rgds,

Alan

"You should be able to obtain a copy of his service record from the Irish Guards. Write to

The Regimental Archivist of the Irish Guards

They will advise what you need to do (almost certainly fill in a form and send them some money!). "

I think that the Guards service papers aren't on Ancestry because they're retained at the Barracks.

As roughdiamond/Ulsterlad mentioned contact the Guards directly and they'll tell you how to get the papers and how much.
