reilly Posted 31 March , 2006 Share Posted 31 March , 2006 A long shot I know - but this forum has been very useful in the past! Does anyone have any pictures of the 2nd Battalion Irish Guard from 1915 to December 1916? or pictures of the Irish Guards from April 1900 to 1906? I am trying to locate a picture of my great grandfather a Private Patrick Driscoll. Or any pointers from Forum members on how I could track these down?

ororkep Posted 31 March , 2006 Share Posted 31 March , 2006 Yes Brian, Write to the following address. Captain Mc Ellin Regimental Headquarters Irish Guards Wellington Barracks Birdcage Walk London SW1E 6HQ As well as holding service records there is also a huge archive of photographs of the IG held on the premises. Your first port of call is to enquire for your namesake, then perhaps his unit. These are not computerised unfortunately and a search by hand is required for which there will be a charge. I was offered to come on the premises to search myself, do not be surprised if it is £25. What there policy on copyright and use thereof is I have no idea. Alternately also check out website URL. http://www.irishguards.net/default-old.htm Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reilly Posted 1 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 1 April , 2006 Thanks Paul -I am really surprised I got a response on that one!- I will write and let you know how I get on! The IG recently sent me Patricks service record and it was a treasure of information on his service. Would like to see a picture of him as well. Thanks Owen I checked e-bay but none currently available - I will keep on checking though Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen D Posted 1 April , 2006 Share Posted 1 April , 2006 owen d were on ebay? Cory, The picture isn't there now. I searched eBay for "Grenadier Guards squad" or "Grenadier Guards photo" and just saw what came up. There were 2, one was named with 4th Bn men so I bought that one. Just see what's there from day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
