joan bourgeois Posted 12 February , 2011 Share Posted 12 February , 2011 Hello Nigel, Would you, by any chance, have a photo of: George Smyth Royal Irish Rifles #9001 K.I.A. December 30th 1914? Thank you, Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hen190782 Posted 13 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 13 February , 2011 Ulsterlad The filename for each picture conforms to the format "Surname, Forename/Initials, Rank, Regiment/Service, Address" (with blanks between the commas for any unknown elements). I then use the Windows Command Line directory instruction to output the filenames as a Comma Separated File, which I can then open in Excel. The text in each element of the filename is held in a separet column, which facilitates searching and fiultering. Simple, really! Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hen190782 Posted 13 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 13 February , 2011 Joan I think that I had posted a copy of a picture of a George Smyth (36 Argyle Street Belfast) for you on a previous thread and you decided that it was not the same man ... if memory serves me, your man was Newtownards? However, I now have contact with a guy who is researchiog the fallen from North Down and Ards, so I will ask him if he has any info. and I will get back to you.

hen190782 Posted 16 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 16 February , 2011 WJ - Sorry, I have no idea ... I was merely a conduit for Joan! Do you wish me to check if I have a photo of RS Smyth in by BET library? Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hen190782 Posted 16 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 16 February , 2011 WJ - do you have any other info. (eg address) for your man as I have a picture of a George Smyth living at 36 Argyle Street in Belfast (which is up the Shankill Road). I think that Joan's George Smyth lived in Newtownards.

W.J.Caughey Posted 16 February , 2011 Share Posted 16 February , 2011 Hi Fitzroy, i have a newspaper photo of RS Smyth and bit of info on George Smyth, and just thought i could help before i put the info i need about a family? photo i have on the forum. So maybe Joan will get intouch if needed. cant seem to PM anyone at moment. So thank you. By the way Nigel that's a great website you have.

W.J.Caughey Posted 16 February , 2011 Share Posted 16 February , 2011 Hi Fitzroy, Information quote from (B.E.T. Jan 1915, Information has been received by Mrs Elizabeth Smyth, 5 Wensley Street, Belfast, that her husband , Rifleman George Smyth, 1st Batt. Royal Irish Rifles, has died of wounds received in action. KIA notice Jan 1915 Smyth -Died of wounds on December 30th 1914 at hospital in France. Pte George Smyth, 1st Batt RIR, beloved husband of Elizabeth Smyth. 5 Wensley Street. I Have attach a notice for Pte 5329 Richard S Smyth 2nd Batt RIR a bit blurry (sorry battery run done when taken), confirming that this George Smyth, was his Uncle, hope this helps. http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=197897 http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=597812 So this leads me to believe that 9001 George Smyth came from Belfast and not Newtownards, i am not sure but i was told that CWGC was introduced in 1921-22 and former wifes or husbands moved on and give these address's to the CWGC. hope this helps so George could have come from Wilton St at one time.

hen190782 Posted 16 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 16 February , 2011 WJ - Good information and I hope that Joan sees it and contacts you.
