Kerry / Re: Munster Fusiliers in France
« on: Thursday 19 November 09 16:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hallo, petermm i would like to be in touch with you as I'm sure our relatives must have known each very well. as best as i can answer your question as to what happened to them, is that they killed by their own artillery fire (friendly fire). it is
quite some time since i did all my research, and some of the details escape me at this time. i did get my granfather medal card, he got three (3) your uncle must/should have also got the same. there was a officer dairy for that day/night,
but it only gives the officer names killed. if we can trade e-mailand i can get you phone number i will call you.

Hi Mitch. My grandfather Micheal John O'Callaghan served with the 2nd Munster in 1914, he was killed in action 21 December 1914 at Festubert France and is buried at the Post office cemetery in France.(you can find him under, M O'Callaghan his regiment # 7988) I have copy's of a the diary, of an officer from the action from December 18th thru December 22nd. the diary is of course more complete, my intrest was reading the events surrounding the action in which he died. I do have a lot of information on RMF. What I'm intrested is the muster rolls of the 2nd RMf and the date he enlisted, he also had a brother in the (I believe) 2nd RMF. Jeremiah O'Callaghan (Whom I am Named after) I have his enlistment papers. he states he has a brother Micheal in the 2nd RMf he enlisted in  March 1913 but gives his father as Jeremiah O'Callaghan. but my Great grand father (Micheal John O'Callaghan father) name was Patrick O'Callaghan also a soldier who lived in cork I have street address for him. Micheal John O'Callaghan was born in Castlemagner Cork Ireland, was married in St johns Church  Tralee Kerry Ireland to Kathleen Scully.
