Michael Pegum Posted 22 December , 2004 Share Posted 22 December , 2004 Hello, markinbelfast, I can take the photos for you, if you like. The cemetery is in the grounds of Grangegorman Hospital, a short distance north of the River Liffey in Dublin. It was King George's Hospital during the Great War, which is probably why the military cemetery is there. Michael Pegum, Dublin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Pegum Posted 22 December , 2004 Share Posted 22 December , 2004 Sorry, I should have said St. Bricin's Hospital, not Grangegorman. It is still a military hospital. Anyway, I can take the photos. Michael Pegum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 22 December , 2004 Share Posted 22 December , 2004 During my army days I had an operation in St Bricins Hospital in Arbour Hill. I dont remember any cemetery in it except beside Arbour Hill Prison. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Pegum Posted 22 December , 2004 Share Posted 22 December , 2004 I think that's the one. I must admit I have never been there (!) but my contacts here in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers Association will put me on track if I go to take photos. I have been meaning to visit it anyway.

museumtom Posted 22 December , 2004 Share Posted 22 December , 2004 If that is the cemetery you are after prepare to be disappointed. The last time I was there the British gravestones were leaning up against the perimiter walls. It did not look to me like they were over graves either, of course that was in the eighties. There was fascinating information on them. I remember reading one that said it commerates xxxx who drowned with his horse in the liffey, etc.. The graveyard is in the grounds of the military church located at the back gates of Collins Barracks which is now the National Museum of Ireland. The Museum is located on the banks of the Liffey in Benburb Street. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Pegum Posted 10 January , 2005 Share Posted 10 January , 2005 Photos of graves I will be visiting Grangegorman cemetery in the near future, weather permitting, to photograph the grave of Nathaniel Morton for "markinbelfast". I do now know just where the cemetery is!. If anyone would like a photo of a particular grave, please let me know in the next day or so.

Ken Lees Posted 10 January , 2005 Share Posted 10 January , 2005 Michael, I would appreciate a photograph of the grave of 2/Lt Alexander Lamont, of the King's Liverpool Regt. (Grave ref: Wes. Officers. 28.) He was one of the casualties of the SS Leinster but I haven't yet established why he was on board at the time. Thanks in advance, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorrie Posted 10 January , 2005 Share Posted 10 January , 2005 Michael I would be extremely grateful if you could take a picture of Lieutenant Harold Daffen's grave for me please. Harold is an ex pupil of King Edwards school retford, a group I am researching. He was killed during the Eastre Rising 1916 and was a member of the 2/8 Sherwood Foresters. The garve reference taken from the CWGC is C.E. Officers.4. Thanks Dorrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Pegum Posted 13 January , 2005 Share Posted 13 January , 2005 Photographs of graves Here are small versions of photos of the graves of Harold Daffen, Alexander Lamont and Nathaniel Morton. I will be sending large .jpg files to those who requested them by e-mail. About N. Morton. The CWGC says he was in the Royal Irish Rifles, and so does a contemporary list in the book published by the "Weekly Irish Times" just after the rebellion. However, his gravestone says "18/250 Lance Cpl. N. Morton, Royal Irish Fusiliers 28th April 1916." There is no other Morton in the cemetery, so I think this must be the right grave. Let me know if the full-size images get through all right. Michael Pegum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
