Thank you Dyfed and Mark. I reckon it was the last shot saloon. Time to move on to the next poser.

Thanks to everyone who helped with this one.

 Kind regards.

 Tom,

This Cork sailor died after discharge. If his records say he was discharged with heart problems then he might go through. I can only find one William Kidney but he was discharged in 1924. Can you help please?

Thanks Bob and George. He does not qualify, sadly. But it was worth a shot!

Kind regards.

Note he was already getting pension in 1914 which appears strange as not discharged 'till 1916

Looks as if he was suffering from jaundice in 1917

Top 3 in this return

The later ref to his officer file shows his middle name was Francis as above

Hepatic cancer is cause of death - liver cancer. Would account for the jaundice
