Hi Everyone,
I am a amateur researcher, involved in researching the military and family lives of officers and men from South Co. Dublin who fell in the Great War. My work will be published in a book titled, "Out of the Dark 1914-1918" and will be financed from my own resources.
I would like to make contact with relatives of Great War dead, who were born or lived, at any time, in South Co. Dublin. In particular, I would like to contact relatives of the following war heroes:
1) L/Sergeant THOMAS CHRISTOPHER COFFEY, Royal Dublin Fusiliers, 9th Battalion, K.I.A. on 16
August 1917. He was from 1, Charlemont Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.
2) Pte. Anthony Devitt and his brother, Christopher, who were K.I.A. on 29 June 1915 and 24 May
1915. They were attached to the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and lived at 27, Convent Road, Dalkey, Co.
Dublin.
3) Pte. William Joseph Manning, 7th Royal Dublin Fusiliers, K.I.A. on 3 October 1916. He lived at Upper
Georges Street, Kingstown, Co. Dublin and later at 4, Pembroke Road, Dublin. Educated Blackrock
College.
4) L/Corporal William Percy Butler, 10th Royal Dublin Fusiliers, K.I.A. on 24 April 1917. he lived at 36,
York Road, Kingstown, Co. Dublin.
Any information that will help me to make contact with relatives of the above, will be much appreciated.
Ken.
