If you are looking for somebody on that WW2 Irish Army deserters list,I have a copy of a list and will check it for you if you want.My old man is one of those listed.

Hi Ddecam:

Thanks for the response, I recently found 5 name plates in my local church
commemorating  5 vets from WW1 - from that I am trying compile
a list of people who fought in WW1+2 from the Local Area,

To be honest I have not though about the list of soldiers who escaped
death and left the army early, it's very topical and a very sensitive area.

Cheers
HC

The Commonwealth website is searchable by area, if you put the name of your area in the Additional Information box at the bottom of the page it will return results. It helps to narrow the search if you add the County as well as the area. If you let me know the area you are looking for I might be able to suggest other places to search.
