I wondered where I got the above information so I did a bit of digging in my old notes and found the I had posted a query on this forum and the page no longer exists but here is the info from it, does this help? Kind regards. Tom. This is no 1343 (later 550317) George McCleery who enlisted in the 2nd London Divisional Engineers 19th Sept 1914, aged 25. Living in East Dulwich at the time. Father is listed as above name and address. Discharged no longer physically fit 12/6/1917. I cannot make out what is written in his pension record at the moment but there is a note to say as result of active service. There is also a note to say this pensioner died 4th May 1918. In FMP as McClurg https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBM%2FWO363-4%2F007280576%2F02444&parentid=GBM%2FWO363-4%2F7280576%2F235%2F2444 Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little bob Posted 14 May , 2019 Share Posted 14 May , 2019 The National Archives has a record for 2/Lieutenant Michael McFadden, Connaught Rangers. WO339/67939. Record has not been digitised. Fold3 has British Army List for the same officer for both 1917 and 1918. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 14 May , 2019 Share Posted 14 May , 2019 (edited) Northern Whig - 14th December 1918 A WESTPORT TRAGEDY. The dead body of Lieut. Michael McFadden, discharged army officer, was found the Strand, opposite Westport Quay. He resided with his mother and sister at the Quay and was missing since Saturday. The body was observed by a workman named Stringer. It is believed that MdFadden walked over the quay in the darkness accidentally. Most likely candidate may be a 2nd Lt in the Connaught Rangers - https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1121775 LG - from Officers Cadet Units, to be 2nd Lts 19/12/1916 - https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29895/supplement/370/ LG - Relinquishes commission 15/7/1917 - https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30183/supplement/7078 1911 census probably - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Westport__Urban/Cloonmonad/749124/ Edited 14 May , 2019 by IPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1959 Posted 15 May , 2019 Share Posted 15 May , 2019 (edited) A Murphy in Ireland. A little tester! Only clue so far is that Prospect Row appears to have been attached to Sarsfield or previously New Barracks. It still exists and is used by Irish Army. Google returns not a lot. I can only find ref to the RMF or ASC there but nothing clear. Edited 15 May , 2019 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rayner Posted 15 May , 2019 Share Posted 15 May , 2019 The only likely one I can currently track was discharged in 1904 having served SA.
