Volunteers from Eire who have won distinctions ...

... serving with the British Forces

FROM LISTS PUBLISHED IN MARCH & NOVEMBER, 1944

Thanks to ADM199 for his continued generosity, this time in passing on images of these publications, I will be posting up the full transcribed text in relation to the following awards - for all branches of the Forces, including for those serving in the Home front.

In most cases a citation is given along with a brief biog and/or details of place of birth or residence, the latter probably gleaned for London Gazette purposes. A number of individuals have very little detail noted however. Please note that this list is not a complete one for the War, as the last publication included awards given up to November 1944.

An incomplete alphabetical list appears here in this thread, but some individuals have a thread devoted to information about them. Links to other threads are noted against the names below for handy reference.

Edit: update
Since I never seem to get time to add more transcripts etc, i've added images and listed the names on each page for search engine purposes.

Thanks Gentlemen.


Forgot to mention: where an individual has a double-barrelled surname, I have listed them alphabetically under both.

 

Hello Gentlemen,

Thank you for your posts; very pleasing indeed to see the interest generated as well as ideas.

Don't see why we can't honour all those who served and were from, or had connections to, the Republic of Ireland.

I too have at least a couple of IGs who were recommended for awards and not listed in the publications; one of them my father's best friend, another whose details appear elsewhere on the forum as a result of a relative's enquiry.

Unless anyone has a better idea, I thought it best to add the names and units only on this thread with a link to further information elsewhere on the forum (new or pre-existing) - just as I have already been doing so far. As many are more expert than I, it would be best if you post up a thread yourself, eg either in Unit History or elsewhere for an individual, in order to keep this thread as easily searchable as possible.

I would be more than happy to check Times etc as with other names, for further background and add that for each individual if required.

It would be super if everyone would add names & units/links here to create a bigger list - I don't view this as a solo project by any means and would appreciate further information.

Think this is exactly the what the forum is all about.

Cheers,
Diane
