museumtom Posted 8 September , 2019 Author Share Posted 8 September , 2019 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 9 September , 2019 Author Share Posted 9 September , 2019 (edited) 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?
