Interesting about the records office, Divis - Can you send me details either through here or a PM?

My Mother reckoned her Dad was a Tan - Which I find hard to believe to be honest. He was wounded twice in WW1 and barely fit to do a days work at times let alone be part of that crew. Besides which he was always a decent law abiding chap - French galantry medal for rescuing a young girl from a well while on active service in France. On top of all that his his maternal grandfather was from Gallway! Name of Hart if that means anything to anyone?

Perhaps if the records are now available we can complete the picture. We have his military service record from 1914 to 1919 but nothing after.

Cheers
