I got to get to a few Anzac day ceremonies with noel in grangegorman cemetery, he mentions laying a wreath on my behalf, that was for my grandfather and the Dublin fusiliers.
I only came across his death by chance on sat , it was mentioned on the Dublin fusiliers facebook page. he was the youngest l/sgt in the irish guards thanks to his F.C.A training where he was a corporal. he will be sadly missed by his family and friends. QUIS SEPARABIT.Attached Filesin god i trust...everyone else cash only.
