Chris Noble Posted 15 February , 2005 Share Posted 15 February , 2005 Evening Pals. I was approached at work by a colleague regarding the above gentleman. She believes him to be a relation and would be interested to know anything about him or the actions surrounding his death at Gallipoli 15/8/15. Any info much appreciated. Regards, Chris.

Desmond7 Posted 15 February , 2005 Share Posted 15 February , 2005 As always a great starting point - aside from LLT above - is Tom Johnstone's Orange Green and Khaki. Pretty sure Liam Curran will see this ... Gives info on all Irish Regts. in WW1 and from memory there's quite a bit about Innis. Fus. Plus - any idea where he was from. If you have a location, it is more than likely he was featured in the local paper. I could point you in right direction if he's from the north. More info and you never know what might come up.

curranl Posted 22 February , 2005 Share Posted 22 February , 2005 Hello Chris, As Des says, I have a copy of "Orange, Green and Khaki" which describes the action on Kiretch Tepe Sirt on the day your man fell. I also have a copy of Cooper's "Tenth Irish Division at Gallipoli", which gives a more detailed version of the battle. Cooper mentions your man by name, but just as a casualty among the officers. Let me know by PM if you want a copy of the relevant sections. Regards, Liam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
