He was actually from Costelloes Lane, an only son with 5 sisters, my grandmother had his trunk which was returned with his personal possessions , uniform, gas mask etc plus the telegram received by her mother. I believe an uncle in Dublin has them now and my father had his medals but the were passed on to his elder brother when he died. I have his dog tag and my sons history teacher told him the marks on it were caused by shrapnel.

  I am searching for my husband's uncle James Collins born Sleive kiel Waterford 1897.  He died August 1914.  He joined up underage and was killed three days before his 17th birthday.  Hope you can help, we have had no luck so far.  Kind regards
