museumtom Posted 18 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 18 June , 2019 Excellent research Mark, thank you. It is so sad that Gallaghers records do not exist and the same with Coughlan. Such is life with these post war soldiers. Thanks again Mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1959 Posted 18 June , 2019 Share Posted 18 June , 2019 (edited) Sorry been out on river with my disabled rowing squad for several hours Think the team has correctly identified Walter Gill as the correct man. WFA card shows he was discharged for TB. Showing as "att" - assume attributable. I will point out DofD of 1/10/21 is after the 31/08/21 cut-off for recognition. Address is Moore St. Kilrush on card. His death is noted on card in 10/21 but no exact date indicated, https://www.fold3.com/image/1/645033383 Edited 18 June , 2019 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 18 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 18 June , 2019 Thank you Mark, very much appreciated!! I deserve a night in the cells for not recognising the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 18 June , 2019 Share Posted 18 June , 2019 Again the WFA win the race with Daniel Butler There are 2 WFA cards. One of which shows Henry St, Graigne, Carlow as the address as per the Death certificate He is 4893 Private Royal Irish regiment. Discharged 25/4/17. The cause is Lymphadenoma. This is essentially Hodgkins Lymphoma - my uncle had it. It is noted as "attrib". Well that is not possible but not us to judge. Also notes died in the hospital on 12/6/21. This card seems to transose his number as 4983 The other card is harder to follow Claim from his mother Jane. And his details are mixed up with her brother who died 30/9/18 with the RMF. Her address is Henry St. The relevant cards are https://www.fold3.com/image/644995834 and https://www.fold3.com/image/645810749 His MIC 4893 shows 1915 Star trio 2a Balkans 16/10/15 SWB roll 4/4893 shows service from 15/4/15. Must stand a good chance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1959 Posted 18 June , 2019 Share Posted 18 June , 2019 (edited) Hynes Listed as missing WO list 17/9/14. 22/03/15 - previously reported missing now reported PoW Sorry discharge date is 23/12/18 not a year later as originally stated above Tried to do a quick lookup of ICRC records but no luck as yet - edit - think there may be some confusion with the ICRC records for those for 9292 John Hynes RMF Edited 18 June , 2019 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
