museumtom Posted 19 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 19 May , 2019 May I please have a translation for a reply from the 2nd I.C. of the R.B.L. here in Ireland. I asked;- ' Would your members be prepared to look for the burial registers for the Limerick men who are newly added to the CWGC? Every one found will received a CWGC headstone. This trawl of the death certs and adding to the CWGC should be complete in about 6 weeks and I will be in more of a position to give you all the new Limerick names and possible location of their graves.' The reply was;- 'Revert post conference' If anyone can speak Royal British Legionnaire will you translate it for me please. I did not want to reply and ask what he meant in case I looked more sill than I usually do. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1959 Posted 19 May , 2019 Share Posted 19 May , 2019 I do not mind being used as a doormat if the chaps are remembered and given the respect they deserve. It might irritate but always remember that. If it adds to Remembrance the default must be supply the information. One should insist the source should be acknowledged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 20 May , 2019 Share Posted 20 May , 2019 (edited) Branigan on Ancestry. ASC R/358475 Discharged 30/9/1918 Records endorsed 'Reported to have died 27/4/19'. No diagnosis of cancer in records, nor attribution to service. Mentions sciatica as condition causing discharge as 'aggravated' (presumably by service).
