Hi Tony,

There were no female casualties on the Clare CWGC list, but I'll keep an eye out for any in Limerick; I now in the process of doing those.

Regards,

Liam.

Nearly all headstones of Mayo soldiers from World War I and World War II photographed plus a number who were washed ashore after being torpedoed in the Atlantic during WW2 off the coast of Mayo. Kilcommon (Erris) photos for BWP emailed out. P. J. Clarke, Ballina.

TIPPERARY (ST. MARY) CHURCHYARD L/CPL WILLIAM JOHNSTONE 11TH Battalion RIR would be much appreciated, i am carrying out research on a memorial plaque in Kilmegan Parish Church located just outside Newcastle Co Down, any ideas how someone from Katesbridge Co Down would have ended up in Tipperary Churchyard?

I have no idea why he is here but Tipperary Town was a Garrison town. If you look in the Research section of the Arts and resource centre in Thurles they have all the Tipperary Stars and Nationalist newspapers going back to the 1880s on microfiche. Perhaps he might be in there. Soldiers Died says he died at home.

Regards.

Tom.

7th Royal Irish Rifles was in 48 Bde, 16th (Irish) Div at one stage. One of the Bde HQs was in Tipperary. So there may be some connection there

I am just finished taking pictures of headstones of ww1/2 casualties in Tipperary for the British War Memorial Project. If anyone wants a pic of any particular headstone I am happy to oblige.

Regard.

I see that you are a new member, welcome to the forum.

The picture you seek is above. This is a very friendly place.

Just a small tip, 'please' and 'thank you' go a long way here.

Regards.

Tom.

Hi Tom,

Is there any chance of a photo of the grave of Private Thomas Shaw, in Ballynansheagh if you don't mind. He is on the Carmarthenshire War Memorial, which I am researching.

All the best,

Steve John.

Hello Steve.

You will have to ask Paddy Blackguard as Thomas Shaw is buried in Waterford not Tipperary. Paddy photographed the Waterford headstones.

Regards.

Tom.

Steve,

A photo of Thomas Shaw's headstone.

 

If you have any information on the man would you pass it on to me.

Hi, I'd love to get hold of a copy of Quinane's headstone in Ireland if you still have these photos around?

(I'm an Australian Light Horse researcher but Quinane is a descendant of mine. He shot himself in the foot and his service records state he died of pneumonia in hosital in Dublin, though whether it was precipitated by the wound is another matter).

many thanks,

matt

This was a very sad grave as it sits in a hard to find graveyard outside Borrisoleigh up the mountains. You would pass it if you blinked. Strange to see a ww1 war grave is the middle of nowhere. I am sure the local paper would have something on him if you looked.

Regards.

Thanks mate. His service record states that prior to re-entering the front, he discharged a round from his rifle into his foot. He subsequently was hospitalised and spent time in Ireland tracking down relatives. It appears that while there he passed away and his records show that a cousin requested that he be privately buried among other (distant) family.

I appreciate the photo very much.

cheers

matt
