Eleanor Kenny vertelt het verhaal van de overgrootvader van haar man, John Patrick Mc Ghee (geboren in 1878) John Patrick leefde en werkte in Bridgeton (Glasgow) als plaatslager (Steward Lloyd's). Hij huwde Agnes Mc Guinness. Toen hij naar de oorlog trok had hij 2 kinderen: John en Kate. Later kwam er nog een dochter bij: Agnes. Hij was een vrij stille man die amper iets vertelde over de oorlog. Agnes kreeg later een dochter die ze ook Agnes noemde die haar grootvader toch zo ver kreeg er iets over te vertellen. Zo kreeg ze te horen dat hij tijdens de oorlog mee hielp bij de smid om paarden te beslaan. Hij kreeg shrapnel in z'n been tijdens de oorlog. Elke dag, en dat voor 40 jaar, verving hij het verband rond z'n been. Pas op 77-jarige leeftijd werd het stuk metaal verwijderd.

Patrick and John O'Rourke

52 Items

Postcards and photos Letter || Patrick (Paddy) and John O'Rourke were brothers of my Mother and were from Johnstown, Co. Kilkenny in Ireland. There was only about 2 years between them. They appear in several of the photos together. They were both members of the Southern Irish Horse and were based in Clonmel and Fermoy. Patrick was injured in the Somme and suffered from shellshock. In 1922 he was admitted to a mental home in Kilkenny City. He died sometime in the 1980s. John was based in the depot and never served abroad, but he was a fine shot. He lived into his 80s and had a family. Marcello referred to in postcards was my mother. Because Paddy served abroad, most of the items are connected with him rather than John. || || Photo of Soldiers || Photograph || || Front || Home Front || Letter to Patrick and John's sister from a (Private?)
