PaulC78 Posted 20 October , 2023 Share Posted 20 October , 2023 Spotted this man, I don't think he's come up previously: Thomas Doyle, died 30/01/1920 age 28, death registered Dublin North. Cause of death is "effects of shell shock in late war 3 yrs, neuritis with partial paralysis". He was 2848 Leinster Regiment, medal roll says discharged medically unfit on 16/06/1915. Pension cards confirm the address and name his widow as Rosanna, but otherwise aren't too helpful. Will almost certainly need more evidence to make a case.

PaulC78 Posted 20 October , 2023 Share Posted 20 October , 2023 No worries Tom! Did Terry put this one forward then? I assume the case was rejected at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 21 October , 2023 Author Share Posted 21 October , 2023 (edited) Hello PaulC. I sent him to Terry on 20/06/2020, and he was rejected. I better update Doyles readout. At that time I was having trouble with my emails and Terry's replies were getting bounced back to him.

museumtom Posted 22 October , 2023 Author Share Posted 22 October , 2023 Good morning all. I am trying to find out the circumstances of this ex-soldiers death. He was drowned at sea some weeks after discharge. It seems there were 11 ships sunk on that day but I cannot tie him to any of them. Can you help please?
