Photograph of my Grand Uncle Christopher Doyle

1 Item

Photograph from the enlisting form of Christopher Doyle. Photocopy of the Missing Notice from the Evening Herald newspaper where his parents are seeking information on the wherabouts of Christopher Doyle. Death medal of Christopher Doyle. || I became aware of these items when I was a teenager and have been interested since. My grand uncle, Christpoher Doyle joined the Royal Dublin Fusilliers 'C' 2nd Battalion in January 1913. He was promoted to sergeant and was wounded three times. I also have a copy of an article that appeared in the Evening Herald newspaper. It was a Missing Notice that was put in the paper by his parents who were looking for any information on where he might be as he was missing. He died in France on 23rd October 1916. His name is engraved in the Memorial in Thiepval in France and we haven't visited it. I hope to go there some day.

Memorabilia of Patrick Drury | Kings Liverpool Regiment

1 Item

My grand uncle, Patrick Drury, was probably from the Old Watergate area of Limerick, Ireland. I don't know anything about his life before the War. He joined the King's Liverpool Regiment (Private No. 9238). The photograph on the postcard here is probably of Patrick though it may be his brother Joseph (Joseph is the name given on the back). Patrick died during the War, though we don't know how. My father only spoke about this once. The postcard has Joseph Drury, Royal Munster Fusiliers, ? II Battalion, Limburg (?), Germany. This could still relate to Patrick if the regiment was decimated as people were moved to new regiments when this happened. || (1) Document accompanying the 1914-15 Star medal; (2) Document accompanying the Victory medal;(3) Medals: 1914-15 Star medal & Victory medal; (4) Postcard with photograph possibly of Patrick Drury; (5) Memorial scroll
