"You claim you can find the record of all servicemen with ease, and on that basis, you have denied the service record of Tommy Kenny"

Where have I claimed that I can find the record of all servicemen with ease?

Where have I denied the service record of Tommy Kenny? I did some research and found the existence of the service records of the only six Tommy Kenny's on record as having served in the British Army during the First World War so what are you prattling about?

By the way Jom did your Uncle Gerry tell you what regiment he served in? Did he ever mention where he served? Ever asked yourself the question why "your" Tommy Kenny didn't. One thing is for sure Jom if ever I had seen an officer or a military policeman carry-out a summary execution of anyone serving with me then the following information would be seared in my memory:

1: Who was executed
2: Who executed them
3: Where it happened
4: When it happened

In short every damn detail of the murder

Yet Tommy Kenny could tell you absolutely nothing about the detail - and you swallowed it hook-line-and-sinker.

"would be grateful for your assistance in confirming them" No you wouldn't - use your own money to do your own research it is after all your family in which I have no interest whatsoever.

But I see you are now trying to deflect things away from WWI

Good article GHOST don't know why you posted it - I have never denied that boys lied about their age to get into the Forces in time of war.
