Sligo Men in the Great War
« on: Saturday 28 June 08 16:17 UTC (UK) »
Hello List,



I was in Tubbercurry last week researching my Irish roots, and i meet my Great Uncle for the first time. He let me borrow a book called Sligo Men in the Great War 1914 - 1918 by James McGuinn, but i need to post it back to him as soon as possible as there was not many that was published and you cannot get the book anymore from what i have been told.



At the back of the book there is about 16 pages of Sligo men who died in the great war, i am in the process of scanning them pages and saving them to my pc.

I am sure you can understand that it is way too much to type it all out on here, it would take me ages



I am willing to do a look up on the soldiers that died in the first world war from Sligo, but not every soldier is in the book.



I hope i can help someone

Hello Christopher,

Thanks for your reply, i live in the UK and only came back from Tubbercurry 9 days ago after doing some family research over there.

I can only go by what i was told at the time. Since being back i have been told the book can be ordered via a bookshop in Sligo Town, but not online :-(
