How about Frederick Grenny , Pte., 906 Connaught Rangers, MIC here says he was 'Discharged', but not when or why, or if he survived. But it does give NOK (unusually) as Mr. G Guervine?, 5 Charle mont Mall/Hall, Dublin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does give NOK (unusually) as Mr. G Guervine?, 5 Charle mont Mall/Hall, Dublin. I spotted Grenny as well, after my earlier post, as a possible but hadn't got around to looking at the card. Name wise he seems the best available match. The MIC mentions a B104-117 in Dec 1923. This form was a medal application - apparently for an Iraq GSM bar.https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/200994-army-form-b-104-117/ EDIT: Thanks Bob, I was just going to check the Roll.

museumtom Posted 25 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 25 April , 2019 Brilliant! What a find!. Try as I might I could not find any variables close, but you did, fair play to you all. Thank you very much indeed guys and gals. You are incredible at this stuff. The thing is when this is all finished I am going to miss it a lot, fear not, though, there are lots more certs there to be done, and I will need ye more than ever. I am, as usual forever in your debt. Thanks again for all your help. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 25 April , 2019 Share Posted 25 April , 2019 Am I seeing the NOK surname as 'Guerrine' ? Do you suppose 'Grenny' could be a corruption of 'Guerrine' ? A handful of births in Ireland from 1889-1916, almost all in the Dublin area. (4 deaths for this surname ever). And interestingly Geoffrey's name came up in the Oireachtas in 1923, regarding his health, and pension: https://www.oireachtas.ie/ga/debates/debate/dail/1923-10-10/4/ Perhaps the back of Grenny's MIC is a total red herring and that it's not really his card. Red herring, or can of worms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 25 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 25 April , 2019 I have to admit I am struggling with this one, there is nothing in FMP for Guerrine or 906 Grenny. We can see the MIC and the SWB card but there seems to be no records for him, sadly. Perhaps we should call it a day? Thanks again for all your help, it would not have been possible to come this far without your help for which I am very grateful. Kind regards. Tom.

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 25 April , 2019 Share Posted 25 April , 2019 And no MIC or officer's file at Kew for Guerrine. The address in the Dail statement is the same as on the back of Grenny's card. If it is the back of his card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking around I think it's Guerrini as the surname on the back, there was a large number in Dublin at the time. Makes you wonder if he had anglicised his name.

ss002d6252 Posted 25 April , 2019 Share Posted 25 April , 2019 I think this man is probably Frederick Grenby. There was a Frederick Guerrini , age 29, in Dublin in 1911. He had brother called Geoffrey Guerrini (I think he may well be the NoK on the back of the MIC)http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Usher_s_Quay/Kilmainham__Old/57634/ Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per post #914 Tom I'm pretty certain he was Frederick Guerrini and he had served as Grenny but still unable to find any other records. Pop your next one up and mark this one as a may be I think Tom. Craig Edited 25 April , 2019 by ss002d6252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
