centurion Posted 29 April , 2011 Share Posted 29 April , 2011 From an Irish regional paper, 1914, enjoy. Australian’s Praise For Irish Soldiers. I know some Irish papers had the gift of the Blarny but I was unaware of their prophetic skills. To be able to publish so much detail in 1914 about a campaign that didn't begin until 1915 is amazing. I wonder however about the security implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 29 April , 2011 Author Share Posted 29 April , 2011 Centurian you are wholly correct, it is dated September 1915, sorry about that, my mistake. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBattle Posted 29 April , 2011 Share Posted 29 April , 2011 Rather surprising to find him serving in an English Regiment when there were Australian forces in Gallipoli, but there are 10 casualties in Lancs Fusiliers with Australian connections. It would seem that Melrose survived as no entry as either an Australian or Lancs Fusilier. 001 ANDERSON AFD - 4TH BN ATTD 1ST BN 01/07/1916 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 002 BATES W 31418 11TH BN 23/03/1918 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 003 BELL GB - 5TH BN 28/04/1917 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 004 BREWER CH - 4TH BN ATTD 7TH BN 04/10/1917 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 005 CROUCH FH - 5TH BN ATTD 2ND/7TH BN 21/03/1918 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 006 DEVINE BW 2408 1ST/7TH BN 06/06/1915 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 007 MCKENNA JB 39042 2ND/8TH BN 10/08/1917 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 008 PATTERSON C - 3RD BN 19/01/1915 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 009 ROBINSON H 35135 1ST BN 23/05/1917 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS 010 WHITE A 47234 2ND BN 09/10/1917 LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS I wonder what today's Health and Safety mad officialdom would make of eggs being sent from Ireland to UK and how fresh?

Not a lot Eggs are listed in 1918 as having been one of Ireland's main exports to England during the war years. They still are one of Ireland's significant exports.
