Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 29 April , 2019 Share Posted 29 April , 2019 Good spot charlie, Unfortunately, found to have advanced phthisis at enlistment in 1915, so enlistment rejected. Thought to have originated in America 2 years previously. Despite this, was paid an Australian pension up to death on 19/10/1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 29 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 29 April , 2019 Great find Charlie, and I am sure he will qualify. The reason we could not find him is Charlie was way ahead of us and didn't use the comma. Dang, we should have through of that. Well done Charlie, and another unfindable strikes the dust. Very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 30 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 30 April , 2019 A strange one to start the day. It looks like he was a discharged soldier as he did not die in a military hospital. Can you me help please? There are two men from the same county but their names are spelled Prenderville, Prendiville, and another from a neighbouring county spelled Prendeville. Kind regards. Tom.

museumtom Posted 30 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 30 April , 2019 (edited) Brilliant stuff George and Craig, fancy him being from Manchester? You guys are on the ball, thank you very much indeed. The thing is FMP don't his the vital sheet or mention if he died after discharge. Are we sure it is the right fella? His records say William Thompson. Keep up the great work lads, You have a great track record. I just had a look and one of the documents say his medal was sent to him in 1922. Kind regards. Tom.

museumtom Posted 30 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 30 April , 2019 (edited) Roll of Honour. Sergeant R. Rafter. We regret to record the death of Sergeant Richard Rafter, son of Mr John Rafter, Ockanroe, Ballyfin, in Richmond Hospital, Dublin, on Sunday last, 9th inst. , the result of gas poisoning. It was only last week that we had the melancholy duty of announcing the death of a brother of the Sergeant, so that this further shock to the members of the family is all the more sad. Sergeant Rafter served in the Royal Irish Regiment, and had been invalided home from France, where, while serving with his battalion, he was “gassed. ” As a result he suffered from impaired eyesight and generally debility. Prior to the war deceased was stationed for some years at the depot of the Royal Irish, Clonmel. He was married to the second daughter of the late Mr John McGregor, plumber, Gladstone Street, and with his young widow and the other relatives much sympathy is felt in their bereavement. Sergeant Richard Rafter, Royal Irish regiment, who died in Richmond Hospital on 9th September from the effects of gas poisoning received in action, was 33 years of age. He was the fourth son of Mr John Rafter, of Ochanroe, Ballyfin. OK I got him, but if I have the critical sheet I could send him on to Terry, can you locate it please? Kind regards. Tom.
