Jervis Posted 19 February , 2019 Author Share Posted 19 February , 2019 Yes, true. But the journal story posted an image of his MIC. Assuming correct - it is 5928 Royal Munster Fusiliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty mild, I'd say (unless they've been moderated). You should see the Southern Daily Echo whenever there's an accident involving a cyclist. Why don't they just ask the church who have his death penney if they want the medals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
