Title: Weekly Courier Index (Tasmania)
Post by: MasonT78 on Monday 14 July 14 09:51 BST (UK)

Just wondering if anyone has access the the Index for the Weekly Courier Newspaper published in Tasmania containing names of WW1 soldiers whose photos are published in the newspaper.

I am looking for Francis Joseph CUNNINGHAM. I have found the photo before but cant remember which issue he was in.

Cheers

Lots of Cunninghams listed but the entries don't list first name. Can you confirm parents, birth and town. cheers Lee

Had a quick look in - Index to photographs of WWI servicemen and women in the Tasmanian weekly magazines. Volume 1, The Weekly Courier / compiled by Wendy K.Knolle but couldn't see a Francis Joseph CUNNINGHAM??

Most of the entries have surname and initials, not full names. The closest I could see was CUNNINGHAM, Private F. E. of Launceston 15 March 1917 pg. 24

There are other general indexes to the Weekly Courier and if I get a chance will check them but I would have thought this was the most obvious one to find him. Was the portrait just of Francis Joseph or was it a group shot??

Cheers,

Peter
