museumtom Posted 1 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 1 May , 2020 Thank you Craig, that is so tempting. Does it say what he was discharged with and if it was TB was it attributable please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason for discharge that is mentioned in the GSW - one record that records the date of death notes the cause but there is no direct mention TB was associated with the service.

museumtom Posted 1 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 1 May , 2020 That is so sad, Craig. This man died in sanitorium. Ah well onwards and upwards. Thank you again for the help Craig. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 1 May , 2020 Share Posted 1 May , 2020 The WFA pension cards for officers should be coming before too long - not sure they'll add much though ! Might be best to put them on the back-burner for now. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 1 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 1 May , 2020 Excellent finds, thank you Craig.I hate to say this Craig, he is too late, Dec, 1921. I apologize for the wild goose chase. An error on my part. I'll get working on James Byrne. Sorry Craig, I'll be more alert in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 1 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 1 May , 2020 I tried my best buy I could not join the dots with James Walsh/Byrne. He has records in FMP but it does not show an alias.

As to why he chose the alias, the card is probably a clue as to his background. https://www.fold3.com/image/669814182 Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss002d6252 Posted 2 May , 2020 Share Posted 2 May , 2020 Ah, but he has more cards ! He's also down under as many different ways as you can spell his surname (including Weagan on one !) but amongst them is this - he was still serving when he died of TB. https://www.fold3.com/image/645803113?terms=1019,10423 Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
