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.
