museumtom Posted 12 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 12 April , 2020 (edited) Great finds George.

museumtom Posted 12 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 12 April , 2020 Next we have Edward Morgan. I have a hunch he might be Irish Guards, but that is only a guess.

I think it possibly is him but the pension claimed his sister but claim was denied and records don't show whether his death was related to service or not.

museumtom Posted 12 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 12 April , 2020 Excellent, thank you very much Craig. I cannot see him being accepted, so i will remember his with the other Irishmen. Thank you Craig, you are a gentleman. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Atkins Posted 12 April , 2020 Share Posted 12 April , 2020 3265 Morgan, his 1914 Star roll says "Dis. no longer 15-5-15"; his SWB record says he was discharged as a result of wounds (KR 392 xvi). So no help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rayner Posted 12 April , 2020 Share Posted 12 April , 2020 Excellent progress this morning Tom. I did the research then spent three hours on the allotment with the powered cultivator-resting with a beer now. (And the foreseeable future-well 24 hours anyway so keep them coming if you are inclined) Best wishes George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 12 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 12 April , 2020 Hello George, yes is has been a good week actually, we had a successful week, 8 being accepted. In case you are wondering where all these are coming from, Folder3 was not available when I originally went through the D.C.'s and FMP seems to have gotten better with the records, so there will be many more to come. I envy you having the ability to go out to the garden, your weather must be rather fine where you are? Unlike Irish weather, we know it summer when the rain get warmer.... Kind regards. Tom.

George Rayner Posted 12 April , 2020 Share Posted 12 April , 2020 Our weather in Suffolk is absolutely fabulous. Well into the 20's and bright blue skies-and fabulous scenery too. Not mountains and moors but green and pleasant and the skies are huge. It's home. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rayner Posted 14 April , 2020 Share Posted 14 April , 2020 Tom I think your man is Daniel Donovan RGA #3325. He was discharged as 'unfit for further...' and then goes on to claim in a letter that he suffered privations while digging trenches-in Ireland and had no family and no pay from the army.
