Drummy Posted 24 November , 2007 Share Posted 24 November , 2007 I'm sure its me having a bad day searching on CWGC can anyone find the following man: Patrick Duffy, CQMS 6427, 1st Bn Royal Irish Rifles. KIA at Dublin, Ireland on 30th April 1916. Awarded DCM. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 24 November , 2007 Share Posted 24 November , 2007 Why say he was a Non Combatant. The Irish Easter Rising ended on this day and Dublin was in shambles with sniping and open war against the British. Regards. Tom., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummy Posted 24 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2007 Tom, you have misunderstood my abbreviation sorry I was refering to a possible non commemoration by CWGC. I had reckoned patrick had died during the Easter rising with SDGW recording him as KIA. Thanks Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummy Posted 24 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2007 Thanks for checking John, possibly one of the first potential non comms found under the In from the Cold Project launch, I will hang fire on any further SDGW research until assigned my batch..... In relation to this soldier do you wish me to send Terry an IFCP form listing him in isolation? Thanks Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An undiscovered alias? http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_detail...casualty=900679 geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Clay Posted 24 November , 2007 Share Posted 24 November , 2007 Blimey, Geoff, I'm impressed! Did you find him with your search engine? It's got to be him! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummy Posted 24 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2007 I agree, different initial & surname and battalion than SDGW but it has to be one in the same, an unlinked alias. Cracking work Geoff!!! Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 24 November , 2007 Share Posted 24 November , 2007 Or .. Is the source info reliable? Coyle was killed but a J T Duffy Royal Irish Rifles was wounded. Have the two names been mixed up? As per the casualty list from "1916 Rebellion Handbook". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummy Posted 24 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2007 Just checked London Gazette and the award of the DCM is listed in the gazette dated 23 June 1915 as Sgt 6247 J. Coyle, 1st Bn Royal Irish Rifles, won on the Western Front. Thanks Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummy Posted 24 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2007 Both the SDGW and CWGC candidates have same date of death, rank and award of DCM, as well as same regt and both listed as Ireland - place of death, alias seems likely Terry, will pm you re the SA War info, thanks for reply, superb.

Drummy Posted 24 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2007 or perhaps original war dept clerical error when records handed to IWGC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC78 Posted 19 February , 2020 Share Posted 19 February , 2020 Evidence, if it was needed, that an alias was used in this case: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
