I should have added to the above Tom, Thomas Coffey killed when the SS Formby was sunk. There is a photo of Thomas coffey and his wife and also one of the SS formby  at this address if you wish to use them.

Also Thomas McGuire from Spring Garden killed in 1940 though on the SS Ashcrest. I have a new photograph of him to add to the site yet.

Hi Tom
Sounds like great work you are doing. I've been researching the Cunningham family in Carrick on suir for a while now and have still to find records of my family in the war. I know theywere involved but that's about it. I know I also had family around the Carrick area in Waterford and beyond but I'm here in sunny Spain and am unable to get my hands on many records. Would you be able to help at all?

Thanks in advance
Paul


I am just coming to the finish of the Waterford War Dead which will be published next year sometime. I am happy to do free lookups, (free of course). This will include any articles in newspapers about them. There were over 1,100 casualties from Waterford died during the war.
Regards.
 Tom

Hello Paul.
 There are some Cunninghams in Tipperary who were killed in ww1 but none from the Tipp side of Carrick, they are mostly from Clonmel. There are no Cunninghams in the Waterford Book.

Bernie.
 I only have information on guys who died.These men survived.
 Regards.
 Tom.

Hi Tom
Thanks for the reply. Would you happen to have the details on those from Clonmel or know where I could get the information? I realise that the Cunninghams spread out around Carrick but weren't originally from Carrick itself.

Gratefully
Paul

Born in Thurles in 1890 and enlisted there also. Died of wounds at Bois-En-Hache. Supplementary information; Son of Johanna and the late Joseph Cunningham, of Stradavoher St, Thurles, Co. Tipperary. The second son lost to a widowed mother in the war. Grave or Memorial Reference: I. A. 39. Cemetery: BARLIN COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION. An extract taken from The London Gazette, dated 8th June, 1917. records the following: "For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty when in command of a Lewis Gun section on the most exposed flank of the attack. His section came under heavy enfilade fire and suffered severly. Although wounded he succeeded almost alone in reaching his objective with his gun, which he got into action in spite of much oppositon. When counter-attacked by a party of twenty of the enermy he exhausted his ammuntion against them, then, standing in full view, he commenced throwing bombs. He was wounded again, and fell, but picked himself up and continued to fight single-handed with the enemy until his bombs were exhausted. He then made his way back to our lines with a fractured arm and other wounds. There is little doubt that the superb courage of this N. C. O. cleared up a most critical situation on the left flank of the attack. Corporal Cunningham died in hospital from the effects of his wounds.
