jdoyle Posted 7 January , 2014 Share Posted 7 January , 2014 all 3 Cruess Callaghan brothers get a mention in "The Cruel Clouds of War", Belvedere College write up of casualties, though Joseph did not attend the college. Eugene is listed as Eugene (Owen) Cruess Callaghan on page 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 7 January , 2014 Author Share Posted 7 January , 2014 Sorry lads I jumped the gun, Owen Cruess Callaghan died on 28/08/1916. Can you find him now He was with the RFC Getting complicated? I went back to the original source and the 1916 looks like a 1915. You are correct, sorry about that.
