Hi Tom how are you?,Just came across this site,I was wondering if you could help me,my mother brought it to my attension some time back that she thinks or belives her grandfather served during the first world war,I'm just wondering is she right,she has also told me her uncle also served during the second world war,the confusing part for her is that they both had the same name of Charles Harte,she lived in Cork and her grandparents in Birr so she never got to know them because of difficulties with travel years ago and has only being given second hand information along they way,just wondering if you could confirm if there was a Charles Harte from Birr who served in WW1,I did have a look on the National Archive and found a Charles Harte who was in the Irish Gaurds but Ancestry turned one up in the Hampshire Regiment so I'm none the better off.
Kind regards
Brendan

WW1 War Dead, free look ups means I only have access to guys who died in the war.
Here are the Harte's from Offaly who died in the war.
HARTE, WILLIAM. Rank: Pte. Regiment or Service: Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. Unit; 2/4th Battalion (Territorial Force). Date of Death:08-October-1918. Service No:31040. Formerly he was with the East Lancashire Regiment where his number was 40497.Born in Clonavoe, King’s County. Enlisted in Fleetwood, Lancashire while living in Clonavoe. Died of wounds. Age at Death;37. Grave or Memorial Reference:XIII. E.5. Cemetery: Cologne Southern Cemetery in Germany.
HARTE, WILLIAM. Rank: Pte. Regiment or Service: Leinster Regiment. Unit; 6th Battalion.
Date of Death:31-December-1915. Service No:3133. Born in Philipstown, King’s County. Enlisted in Maryborough, Queens County. Died of wounds at home. Grave or Memorial Reference: RC.868.Cemetery: Netley Military Cemetery, Hampshire, UK.
You may purchase Charles Harte's ( Irish Guards) medal index card from the Public records Office site here;
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=2730413&queryType=1&resultcount=2
It costs £2.
It will give you his name, rank, unit, previous unit, when he first entered the Theatre of War and what that Theatre of War was i.e. Salonika, France etc. It will also tell you which medals he was entitled to and if he was entitled to a silver war badge for discharge with wounds or illness
Regards.
Tom

Hi again Tom,thanks for that,my mother has just rang me back and there seems to be some debate regarding his name amonst her family,her father died when she was quite young and not much is really known about her grandfathers background,some of my aunts belive he is actually named Joseph and not Charles,again her uncle been named Charles is adding to the whole confusion,I will look up the Archives now with this name but there not making it easy,once again thanks for everything.
Kind regards
Brendan

Hi Thanks for the offer.
My Flynn family lived in Loughill, and I know that there are burials in the cemetery at Liss. But since I have not been there yet I do not know who is there for sure. Any help would be appreciated.
Scott
