Large numbers of 'colonials' also. Forgive the small size of the images .. but I reckon they will be of use to LOCAL researchers and you never know what forum types will discover here.

Desmond7 Posted 26 October , 2006 Author Share Posted 26 October , 2006 As you will see, I have made a complete horlicks on this. I have 18 pages of names - and I can't get the image size to fit. Any punters fancy taking a page each and keying it into word for me? He said .. pleadingly. Then I can work with the plain text and make this 'hames' look like something half-readable. Any vols. will be on my Xmas card list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmond7 Posted 18 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 18 November , 2006 Thank you David - here's Todd .. best picture I have. However, I do know he received quite a heavy duty RN Funeral. You can see pics of most of these guys on the ballymena website below. Cheers for those little extras which help people like me along the trail!
