Do you have other info; which army, d/o/b, d/o/d etc. Also, maybe some family details, Wife, Children, Father, Mother.

Thank you so much !!

I did a little searching with the info you provided and found that he was with the 92nd Field Ambulance according to this.

Also, I am sure that he was 28 when killed.

I know that you mention Co.Offaly, would you by chance have any records for Co.Laois.
I am looking for any information on Henry Mossop, son of Frank Mossop, born in the region of Mountmellick. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Lance

Hi Tom,

I came across your offer of a free look up for WW1. I am looking for information on a Lance Corporal Michael Canavan. Service Number: 5872 Irish Guards Unit 1st Bn.

Can you tell me what sort of information is recorded on his file - would there be any family mentioned?

Thanks,
Jenni
