Relatives of LT. MARTIN MICHAEL ARTHUR LILLIS,

[kkinsella]

HI EVERYONE,

I AM RESEARCHING OFFICERS AND MEN WHO WERE BORN OR LIVED IN SOUTH CO. DUBLIN. LT. MARTIN MICHAEL ARTHUR LILLIS, ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT, ATTACHED ROYAL FLYING CORPS, K.I.A. ON 11 APRIL 1917, WAS BORN IN KINGSTOWN (NOW DUN LAOGHAIRE), BUT SPENT MOST OF HIS LIVE IN CORK WHERE HE ATTENDED CBS. HIS FATHER WAS MANAGER OF MUNSTER & LEINSTER BANK. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH A RELATIVE OF THE YOUNG OFFICER FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING A PHOTOGRAPH AND COPIES OF ANY OTHER MEMORABILIA ASSOCIATED WITH HIS MILITARY AND FAMILY LIFE.

THE COMPREHESIVE MILITARY AND FAMILY RESEARCH OF OFFICERS AND MEN WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A BOOK TITLED, "OUT OF THE DARK 1914-1918". I ALREADY POSSESS A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION ON LT. LILLIS.

CONGRAULATIONS TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE 'CORK GREAT WAR PROJECT'; YOU HAVE DONE WONDERFUL WORK IN ENSURING THAT IRISHMEN AND WOMEN WHO FELL, OR SERVED, IN THE GREAT WAR, WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

BEST WISHES,

Ken.
