Mark1959 Posted 18 June , 2019 Share Posted 18 June , 2019 (edited) He looks the right man. Nothing of import on card apart from mother is Maria - address Castlebar. This leads me to suspect he was actually born 1899-1900. Think he was previously 35108 CRs. 35108 was discharged 19/10/20. No cause given on card. 35108 card shows a cancellation of award due to death dated April 1921. Address on this second card is Castle Brough - probably a mis-spelling of Castlebar.

clive_hughes Posted 18 June , 2019 Share Posted 18 June , 2019 Tom, Re. post #2315, the Royal Engineer - if it's any interest a 39xxxx start to a 6-figure RE number is usually found with men of the Royal Anglesey RE (Special Reserve). They were based at Kingsbridge Camp, Beaumaris, Anglesey, and sent five formed companies to the war, plus individuals as reinforcements to wherever needed. At the start of the war they were told to add 39 to their existing 4-figure numbers. The RARE drew its personnel from a very wide area. Member Rogin is the authority I usually turn to in matters respecting this unit. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 18 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 18 June , 2019 (edited) Nope I think I am wrong, Mark says his date of discharge is the same as the above sheet, but his reference shows the date of death on it also.

Family lived at 20 Beeby St, Workington.

Mark1959 Posted 19 June , 2019 Share Posted 19 June , 2019 (edited) Slow off the marks today. Unfortunately, can find nothing so far to show Henry/Harry Graham was discharged with VDH. Still looking... Horan is 11301 CRs. Reverse of WFA card says died on 8/3/21 and address is in Derrycooldrim. The card merely says debility attributable without specifying what. Discharged 25/11/18. Born 1898. https://www.fold3.com/image/645037887 Edited 19 June , 2019 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
