aughagash Posted 7 September , 2009 Author Share Posted 7 September , 2009 Thanks Kevint, this is him. Any idea what the "Appl for DCM" means on the second page? Also where could I find out more about the details of his service or the circumstances of his death? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smakcanada Posted 19 June , 2013 Share Posted 19 June , 2013 Does anyone know why Robert Dolan #13133, d. 27 March 1918 also had a regimental #5805. I'm trying to track down genealogical information for this family. I believe he lied about his age when he joined the army - he was 16, not 18. I know he was married in Tipperary to Mary Bridget Larkin & had 2 children. He had a brother John dob unknown & a sister Jane who married James Coyle & maybe other siblings. His father was Michael or Mick Dolan & his mother was Maggie (maybe Nichol who died 1880). His half-siblings (mother Maggie McAleer) included my grandmother Margaret Ann Dolan who married (1) Alexander McCool # 10426 18 February 1917. Alexander died in France 3 December 1917. He was in Labour Corps #407843 & Royal Irish Rifles #10848. Not much of a marriage living cheek-by-jowl with the Coyles in Londonderry & him in Ebrington Barracks. She then married my grandfather (2) Archibald Devlin dob 1890, Ballymena who was injured at Suvla Bay (& Maggie believed, dead) in 1921. I don't have much information on Mick Dolan b.(Fermanagh, Cavan, Tyrone) around 1850. There are so many Mick Dolans, son of Mick Dolan, married to a woman named Maggie that it's very difficult to get clear-cut evidence. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
