Hi Mitch,are you still doing research on 2nd.Batt.Royal Munster Fusiliers.I put a posting on here some time ago about my grandfather Jeremiah O'Sullivan but I have since found out that he actually went under the name of James in the army.I have his obituary from the Kerryman newspaper also copies of other letters refering to him.I haVE AN embroidery postcard from him sent from the front and a faded army postcard of his battalion.His obituary states that he was shot by a sniper whilst bandaging a wounded officer.He was wounded twice at the battles of The Somme and Le Basses.It would be great to find out anything else about his part in the war.

JAMES O'SULLIVAN 4767 R.M.F. KILLED IN ACTION  IN FRANCE
4TH OCTOBER 1918.

REGARDS TERESA.

Thanks for your prompt reply,do you kmow James Sullivans reg.no or anything else about him,such as where he was from and his wife or parents names.

  Many thanks,Teresa

hi Mitch,i ahve just come across this site and I was intriged to red about your interest and hopefully knowledge of Th Royal munster Fusiliers.I have been searching to trace my grandfather who wa sin the R.M.F. in ww1 for 10years now but cannot trace anything about him.My main problem is I do not have his reg.no. but I know so much other things about him.I would have thought that I couild trace him by his parents names or his wifes,what do you think?I have got a postcard that was sent from him in france and I have always understood over the years that he never made it home after sending the card although it states he was coming home to receive a medal.I even have a photograph( that isn't very clear) of   himself with his battalion.His name was JEREMIAH O'SULLIVAN(maybe at the time the O WAS DROPPED) HE WAS BORN MAY 2nd.1882 in CLASH,TRALEE.He married Julia Sullivanfrom Ardrahan,Ardfert 25th April 1903.They had 7 children(i have all their names and dates of birth)Streets they lived in in Tralee were Brogue Lane,Mary Street, and Abbey Street.The date on the postcard readsJune 13th and I beleive the year was 1916 but that part is not very clear.I would love to hear your comments.
Regards Teresa
