curranl Posted 15 March , 2005 Share Posted 15 March , 2005 Hello All, I have a copy of the above and can do lookups of men who died in the First World War who were from Ireland or Englishmen who served in Irish regiments. The database is searchable by name,place of birth, date of death, etc. There is not a huge amount of information on each man, but it does give battalion and place of birth. Regards, Liam.

larneman Posted 16 March , 2005 Share Posted 16 March , 2005 And fine work he does as well. Here is some information:- "Ireland's Memorial Records: World War 1 1914-1918. At the end of that war, the Committee of the Irish National War Memorial compiled the information on this disk under the direction of the Earl of Ypres. The result was eight volumes of information about 49,400 49,000 Irishmen who served in the British Army and lost their lives fighting in the Great War. Published in 1923, it is the most complete record known to exist, but only one hundred copies were printed. Now Eneclann has put these volumes onto CD-ROM, where you can easily search for relatives and then view the page as it was originally published. This compilation is special in several ways. Not only does it record the names of the dead, but it also records their rank, regiment, date of death, and regimental number. In most cases, the soldier's county or place of birth and the place and date of death are recorded. All 32 counties in Ireland lost men in the Great War, more than 5,000 from Antrim, 4,800 from Dublin, and 3,000 from Cork alone. Indeed, it is likely that every village, town, and city in Ireland at the time was touched in some way by the loss. With so many families affected, there is likely a significant number of family historians who may be interested in these records. As the introductory information on the CD explains, the committee that extracted all these names from official records was not able to obtain a complete list of the names of the fallen Irishmen in the Navy, Air Force, and Colonial Regiments. Keep in mind that all of Ireland was a part of Great Britain and Ireland at the time, and the army regiments were part of the British Army, although many of them consisted solely of Irishmen. The books covered all the counties in Ireland, including what is today called Northern Ireland." ***Only comment I have is that it does not contain all the irish soldiers that fell and the CD version contains the same small mistakes as the original books. So as any good historian or genealogy researcher should do, double check with the Databases of/and CWGC or the SDGW-ODGW**** Keep up the good work, Liam in the South From Liam, born in the North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midletonman2001 Posted 23 March , 2005 Share Posted 23 March , 2005 Liam As a point of interest can the cd be searched by place name?

Guest Sheila Macauley Posted 9 April , 2005 Share Posted 9 April , 2005 Could you check for a Dennis Dillon who is listed on his gravestone as dead on 8 May 1917. We suspect he died in WWI but no one knows for sure, He was from Co. Londonderry, Ireland. Forever grateful. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 9 April , 2005 Share Posted 9 April , 2005 He is not listed as having died in 1917, if he died in 1914 then we have our man and there is lots of info for him, was he born in Glendermott? There is only one Denis Dillon and he died in 1914 in Irelands memorial records. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give my any information on him. Glendermott is in Co. Derry and it is possible it could be him. I can figure it out maybe with more info from the record. Thanks.
