museumtom #2776 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, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
museumtom #2777 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? Edited 9 September , 2019 by museumtom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
