Trishhh, the Shine's of Dungarvan are my grandmother's family and John, Hugh and James Shine were my great uncles. You will already know that their half-brother, still lives in Abbeyside as he was born long after the three died in France - John Denis ("Gozo") at Mons in August 1914, Hugh Patrick at Ypres in May 1915 and James Owen Williams (Williams was my granny's maiden name) Ypres in August 1917. I have details and a photo of all three from their school record. I'd be interested to know your interest/connection.

Silly me. I said the Williams name was my granny's maiden name by mistake. As one of the two  sisters of John, Hugh and James, her maiden name was, of course, Shine and it was my Great Grandmother, Mary Katherine whose maiden name was Williams before she married Colonel Shine R.A.M.C. in 1886.
