His mothers name was Margaret.
I have a letter from Dennis buckley where he specifically names his regiment as RGA royal garrison artillery who did have 2 barracks in Cobh harbour Co. Cork
He goes on to mention details of an armoured train ambush in the Boer War. He was captured by the boers along with Winston Churchill who he subsequently helped to escape.
In Churchill’s Book My early Life this ambush is retold in great detail along with references to royal Dublin fusiliers but no artillery gunners who were probably small in numbers among the larger RDF force
