I see the medal records but there are no corresponding  service or pension records listed that match - sorry can't suggest where you go next

History of the Royal Munster Fusiliers  Naval & Military Press 184734982X can be brought via Amazon - but is not cheap - presently £26.60

However, provides a detailed account of where its various battalions were throughout the war - lists all gallantry medal recipients and fatalities - while my grandfather survived, by comparing his service record and injuries I could work out where he was at various times during the conflict

The two Thomas Murphys listed on the national archive website in the Munsters don't seem to match the details you provide

Hi Mitch
My Grandfather served in the Royal Munster Fusiliers in 1914 in France and his name was Sergeant Thomas Hyde DCM, MM.  I would be grateful if you knew anything about him could you please let me know.

Thank you

Thomas Hyde

"at 6.30am on the 28th (December 1917) the Battalion moved to Dublin Corner and at 10am a report was received from Serg Hyde in charge if No 13 Platoon that he had rushed an enemy party and taken 1 officer and 11 other ranks prisoners and these he sent back with an escort of 1 soldier, he then repulsed a counter-attack and withdrew bringing in him with his 2 wounded"

I have a copy of "history of the royal munster fusiliers 1861_ 1922" which lists all those who died in WW1 and all those who received medals. There is no mention of a Jerimah O Sullivan or Just Sullivan.

A james O Sullivan was awarded the military medal in august 1916 which he received in France. He dies in 1918. No  J O'Sullivan is listed as being killed in 1916

A J O'Sullivan of the RMF was awarded the military medal in 1916 - could be the same one
