World War One / Re: 2nd Bn Munster Fusiliers during WW1
« on: Sunday 17 August 08 11:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi Mitch,

are you still involved with the Munster Fusiliers history?

My Gt Grandfather, Grandfather and two Gt Uncles served with the Munsters between 1861 and 1922.
I am interested in the Chaplains documents you have for 1914-1918 for 2nd Munsters.
My grandfather, 8482 Francis James Taylor, who joined in 1906, was in the 2nd and may have been at the rearguard action near Mons. He then went to the 6th Munsters.

I am searching for any relevant resaerch data on his service.

Hope you can throw some light on it.

Paul

Hi Kirstie,
sorry I missed your first post in April.

How have you got on?

You may have discovered by now that it is the 70th Brigade you are seeking based at Ballymullen barracks from 1873.

The 101st and 104th brigades ( later known as the Munster Fusiliers ) where based in Tralee.

You can indeed get all the army records at the National Archives at Kew.

If you live far from there though, I can recommended Richard Moles, who is an army historian. He will carry out the research for you as he is in the NA most days. His rates are very reasonable and he is a helpful guy. he will send you full copies of all your relatives records.

The National Archives will give you his contact number as they do recommend him.

Hope this helps
