Medals of Thomas Murphy of Tralee | Co. Kerry

medals
Thomas Murphy was my uncle and he was born in 1885 in Tralee, Co. Kerry. I don't know much about my uncle. He survived the war and returned to Tralee. He went into St. Finian's Hospital in Killarney as he was shell shocked (from Waziristen) and died there in November 1970. I bought his WWI medal and medals from Waziristan (India) where he served from 1919-1921.

Sgt. John Condon | Tralee | Co. Kerry (Royal Munster Fusiliers)

3 Items

My grandfather's name was John Condon. He was a soldier before the First World War. We think he was returned on the census for Ballymullen Barracks as a soldier in the Royal Munster Fusiliers in 1901. His army number in the census in 1901 was 4152. He was a private and aged 23 (born circa 1878). He married my grandmother, Margaret Murphy, on 6th July, 1905. She lived next door to the barracks in Giles Lane, Ballymullen and several members of her family were also members of the Royal Munster Fusiliers. John had left the army at this point but was possibly in the reserves. He must have rejoined the Munsters at some point between 1911 and 1914, because in January 1914, he was awared the long service good conduct medal and made up to Sergeant. (see picture of officers at Ballymullen Barracks, Tralee, circa 1914). In 1914, he was in the 3rd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers and his number was 2591. In the photo, he is pictured in dress uniform with his good conduct medal. We think this photo was taken shortly after he received his medal as the uniform looks new and his children are approximately the correct ages. The girl sitting on his knee is his daughter, Julia Condon (born 1907), and the young boy is his son, John Condon (born in 1906). Some time between 1914 and 1915 he must have been in France as he received the 1914-1915 Mons Star Medal. He came home on Furlough at least once in 1916 as the youngest childin the family, James (my father), was born in February, 1917. My grandmother used to talk about getting postcards from Wipers from him during the war. He talked of setting up a business with a French soldier making sweets. Sweet making was in my grandmother's family but my grandfather had met a French soldier who knew how to make chocolate. While most of the postcards have been lost over the years, we have one exapmple that John sent to his wife. It has Remembrance and Flowers embroidered on the front. His simple message on the back was from husband, to wife and children. I remember another postcard from him that I saw in my grandmother's house which had written on the back keep children at school. Some time in approximately 1916, he came back to Tralee and had his picture taken in combat uniform. The photographs of the children were taken in approximately 1916 and 1917 and copies were probably sent to him at the front. The group shot of the children shows from left to right, Julia Condon, born 1907, infant Michael, born 1915, (behind infant) John, born 1906, Patrick, born 1913, Mary, born 1908. The First Communion photo shows Julia on the left and Mary on the right. At some point during the war, John transferred to the labour corps. His new army number was 451179. According to family stories, he was a quarter master, but as his military record was burnt, we don't know his exact duties while he was in France. According to family stories, he was gassed while he was in France. He was transferred back to Ballymullen Barracks 3 weeks before his death, approx. Nov. 6, 1918. He was ill - according to his death certificate, he had influenza, however his son Paddy (Patrick) who went to see him at the barracks before he died thought he had enterric fever (dysentery). He is buried in Rath Cemetery, Tralee, Co. Kerry. John was not a native of Tralee. Clonmel may be his parish of origin, but after 15 years research, we have not found his bith certificate or baptism certificate. We think he was born between 1875 and 1882. We think his father was called Denis Condon and his mother was Mary. He possibly had a brother called James Condon, nicknamed Whistling Jim. When he wasn't in the army, John Condon worked as a dealer. He bought and sold goods (tableware, sweets, fruit) at fairs and markets around Kerry. || photographs, postcards || || Medal || Medals of Sgt. John Condon, Tralee, Co.

Thomas Noonan of Ballyguy | Co. Limerick | 13th Battalion (Australia) died at Gallipoli

Limerick, Ireland. He worked in McBerny's shop on Thomas St. in Limerick (I think it was a drapery shop). He rowed with Limerick Rowing Club. He fell out with his parents over his atheism. He spent a year working in the mines in Wales before returning home to Ireland. An uncle in Australia sent the fare for Thomas to emigrate to Sydney, where he had a job for him. Thomas arrived in Sydney c. June/July 1914. The job never materialised. For adventure, therefore, he joined the 13th Battalion. He died at Gallipoli on 9 August, 1915 aged 23. He was at the front for about a year and a half. He rowed onto the beaches at the Dardanelles and was one of only two survivors in his boat. That was his arrival at the front. He was in hospital in Alexandria for 3-4 months with shrapnel wounds. In a letter from hospital he said that he was looking forward to getting back to the front. The family received £30 compensation years later which my father used as a deposit to buy 4 and a half acres of land. He used to say that Thomas's lood money bought it. || || Trench Life || Woollahra, Sydney; Heliopolis; Cairo; Dardenelles, Gallipoli. || Artillery || Letter || Letter 1 - On active service, undated, 2 pp. Letter 2 - The aerodrom, Heliopolis, Egypt, 1 March, 1914, 4 pp. Letter 3 - Woollahra, Sydney, 20 July, 1914, 5 pp. Letter 4 - Heliopolis, Egypt, 14 March, 1915, 2 pp. Letter 5 - Kasr-el-Ainy Hospital, Cairo, Egypt, 4 May, 1915, 6 pp. Letter 6 - The Citadel, Cairo, 17 May, 1915, 5 pp. Letter 7 - Gallipoli Peninsula, Dardenelles, 17 July, 1915, 2 pp. || Transport || Letters from Thomas Noonan to home from the front || Medical || || Letters from Thomas Noonan to home from the front || Medical || Letter 1 - On active service, undated, 2 pp. Letter 2 - The aerodrom, Heliopolis, Egypt, 1 March, 1914, 4 pp. Letter 3 - Woollahra, Sydney, 20 July, 1914, 5 pp. Letter 4 - Heliopolis, Egypt, 14 March, 1915, 2 pp. Letter 5 - Kasr-el-Ainy Hospital, Cairo, Egypt, 4 May, 1915, 6 pp. Letter 6 - The Citadel, Cairo, 17 May, 1915, 5 pp. Letter 7 - Gallipoli Peninsula, Dardenelles, 17 July, 1915, 2 pp. || Artillery || Woollahra, Sydney;
