8th Royal Irish Hussars Soldier's Records
« on: Monday 17 October 22 14:37 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have been researching a father & son who were both in the 8th Royal Irish Hussars & both received "Pip", "Squeak" & "Wilfred". Father was RSM Christopher Farrell & son was Sergeant Leonard Bertram Christopher Farrell. I have tried without any success to find out where the soldiers records might be located for them. Any help appreciated.

Paul

It appears that Leonard Farrell's service records have not survived. Around 65% of WW1 army records were destroyed by enemy action in WW2.
