Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 6 January , 2021 Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Dear All, Capt Denehy of 32 Lancers, IA, is mentioned in the - no doubt scarce - book "KURDS TURKS AND ARABS" by C. J. Edmonds. Can anyone happily in possession of this book, please scan and beam me the (probably quite small) part: presumably to do with Denehy's 1919 Kurdistan action... Kindest regards, Kim.

Guest Posted 6 January , 2021 Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Good Morning, KJL The book by Edmonds is available from www.archive.org as a digital download. It's rather clunky, as it has been scanned 4 pages at a time -but the text is clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 6 January , 2021 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Thanks for that - are we both suffering from Insomnia (it is my back - Stenose)... Is this the text? The other is somewhat similar, but I am unsure of the source: probably "Campaign in S. Kurdistan 1919". Denehy had no Citation... Kindest regards, Kim.

Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 6 January , 2021 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Dear All, I tried www.archive.org but I failed to get anywhere. It looks like I need some assistance: sorry to be such a pest! En passant, perhaps someone DOES have the Denehy Citation? He does not appear in Peter Warrington's otherwise very helpful "MC Book" - Kurdistan 1919 having been very much the Great War aftermath. Kindest regards, Kim.

Guest Posted 6 January , 2021 Share Posted 6 January , 2021 I cannot see a text by Edmonds (Cecil John, not Sir James!!) that directly uses words such as Turrkistan. There is a recent publication that seems to use papers by Edmonds of that time and seems to cover the time-frame you want: I have not seen this book in the flesh but I am sure Maureene will be along with more details in due course.

Mark1959 Posted 6 January , 2021 Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Cannot find a citation for any of the MCs listed with Denehy. So I think they were all for outstanding service rather than for a particular action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 6 January , 2021 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Dear All, and Mike, After much clicking around with outdated equipment, much trial and error, and the link provided by all you GWF enthusiasts in the first place, I finally got what I needed. Thanks! To put atmosphere and a face on the Text, I attach the then Capt Denehy's medals and a photograph (thanks, David Rao) taken of him perhaps a year or so later, for your general interest... Kindest regards, Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 6 January , 2021 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Dear All, And here are:- 1) a picture of C. J. Edmonds, and 2) an MC card for A/Capt Denehy. Kindest regards, Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipman Posted 6 January , 2021 Share Posted 6 January , 2021 If you right click on the PDF version and 'save as' document you can get a half decent copy (69MB) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 6 January , 2021 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Dear Mike, Hey, It worked! Having been quite pleased to have cyberly extracted the page 47 Denehy saga from "Kurds, Turks, And Arabs" - I can now read the whole thing. Super! Thanks for your guiding hand and mind. Kindest regards, Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
