Patrick Hayes | Michael Fitzhenry | Jack Duggan
Pat Hayes was our grandfather. He was a merchant sailor and told us of his adventures all over the world but never spoke about the war. He died 27 June 1973. It was several years later before we even knew he was in the war when our mother showed his medals one day to Bernadette. Our grandmother was Annie Duggan and Jack Duggan was her brother. He was born about 1884 and he was a sailor also, service number T2687. Like Pat Hayes, Jack never spoke of his experiences during the war either. Michael Fitzhenry was Monica’s husband’s uncle. He was the son of Edward and Margaret Fitzhenry, Mulrankin and worked as a blacksmith before joining the Royal Irish Regiment, #4423. He suffered frost bite in the trenches at the front and was invalided home. Just a few weeks after he returned to his battalion on the front he was killed in action at Ypres on 8 May 1915.

Patrick and Michael O'Shea were my Aunt's husband's brothers and were the elder brothers of the family. Patrick O'Shea was a Private in the Irish Guards. We did have a bog wood carved frame with shamrocks on it before. Patrick died on the 14th of November 1917 and is buried with one other French soldier in Ostreville in France, who died in 1915. We are not sure who the spoon belongs to, as it could have been Patrick's or Michael's. || Spoon Photos of Graveyard in Ostreville || || Spoon of either Patrick or Michael O'Shea || Patrick or Michael O'Shea || Other || Spoon of either Patrick or Michael O'Shea.
