Transcription of letters sent by Vincent to his mother Pictures of the wedding group of 1910 (people he speaks of in letters) || A lot of the information I have on my grandfather, Vincent Raymond Kenny, came from letters from an uncle (his nephew). He was born in 1882, educated at Blackrock, became a lawyer and knew DeValera. He was asked to set up army post offices at Gallipoli (Dardanelles Campaign) and went there as a Lieutenant. Most of his letters were to his mother and they gave a social history back home and of his life in Gallipoli. He moved to Salonika (Greece) in 1916 dealing with the Turks and the Greeks. He married Kathleen in September 1918 but unfortunately while he was away, she died of the Spanish Flu. He remarried and finished the war as a major. He later dealt with communications in World War II where he supposedly knew Churchill, and got a knighthood after the war.
