Diaries of Ivan Cockayne Pery-Knox-Gore
Sample of pages from 2 Diaries of Ivan Cockayne Pery-Knox-Gore
My great uncle Ivan Cockayne Pery-Knox -Gore from Coolcronan, Ballina, Co.Mayo served in the Connaught Rangers, although I am not sure of this. I think that he served as a high ranked officer, possibly major and had the letters D.S.O. (Distinguished Service Order) and MC (Military Cross) after his name. There is a lot of detail in his diaries.

Po zanimanju je bio mornar, a u ratu je služio u austrougarskoj mornarici. 1917. godine se našao u Puli i završio na brodu Viribus Unitis, na kojem su krajem rata razvili hrvatsku zastavu. Brod je u pulskoj luci potopljen od strane talijanskih diverzanata, a po mornarima koji su plivali do obale pucali su njemački vojnici, koji nisu prepoznali da se radi o njihovim saveznicima. U obitelji Čermin-Vukman sačuvan je fotoalbum Ivana Krmpotića sa slikama iz mornarice. || || Photograph || Iz foto albuma Ivana Krmpotića || || Iz foto albuma Ivana Krmpotića || Photograph || || Iz foto albuma Ivana Krmpotića || Photograph
