Admin Michelle Young Posted 18 October , 2019 Admin Share Posted 18 October , 2019 CWGC gives 7618 as W Murphy https://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/252186/murphy,-/ Looks like a raid on the Hohenzollern Redoubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamRev Posted 18 October , 2019 Share Posted 18 October , 2019 (edited) The 2nd Irish Guards war diary has five pages on the Hohenzollern action on 21 October 1915, which is almost illegible. Fortunately, Rudyard Kilping's History of the Irish Guards (vol. 2, 2nd Irish Guards, pp.33-38) has quite a detailed several-page account, which should help you to estimate where he died. William.

GJW Posted 19 October , 2019 Author Share Posted 19 October , 2019 As for Martin being W. He is definitely Martin. His medal card relects Michael. His Birth Cert is Martin. We will be in contact with CWGC to seek a change. Thank you though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
