Staffsyeoman Posted 22 May , 2003 Share Posted 22 May , 2003 Even the faintest mention of 89 Coy MGC would go down a treat here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 23 May , 2003 Share Posted 23 May , 2003 And again, any mention of 89 Coy MGC's contribution to the attack on 30 July 1916 would be much appreciated.

Sgt York Posted 24 May , 2003 Author Share Posted 24 May , 2003 Phil & John, I'm afraid I couldn't find anything at all with regards to the 89 Coy MGC. Sorry I couldn't be of help. John, I'm glad you brought the matter up of the Gaelic inscription on Port Ellen's war memorial, as I've been meaning to add the English translation for sometime to the webpage. I've had a few e-mails from people asking the same question as youself - even from Poland. I'm not a Gaelic speaker myself, but have had it translated by a native speaker in our village, where it is still spoken on our island. Gaelic inscription: MAIRIDH AN AINM CU SIORRUIDH English translation: THEIR NAME WILL REMAIN FOR EVER This incident regarding the Scottish Horse happened at Gallipoli in which their CO and a look-out were speaking Gaelic. They were arrested by a patrol from the Lancashire Fusiliers as being Turkish spies wearing British uniforms - Great stuff. Cheers, Ronnie.
