Morning Tom

If I am following the correct man he was a Policeman prior to WW1 and had two dogs! Interesting what information Ireland kept! Nothing based on service yet

I wonder were the bodies repatriated after the war. The U.S. did that if the families asked for them.

That seems to have solved it Tom. Sailors eh? Easy!

Solver it? Not really George. Of the six lads yer man quoted only two are ours and danged if I can fine where his ancestor is remembered-'James is also listed on the Tablets of the Missing at the Brookhaven American Cemetery in England, along with the other USN Armed Guard crew members.'

If we could find this, and they are on it also it would indicate that they were not returned to the U.S. and could look for them in Rossport, if you get my drift.

  Sailors are hard, buy American sailors are the hardest. They are not even listed in the U.S. Navy casualties of the Great War. 

Is it time to move on, you reckon george?

 Thanks for your patience with these lads, it is frustrating indeed.

Kind regards.

 Tom.
