Hi,
I have a group of medals to John Thomas Greeves-O'sullivan, late of the Connaught Rangers. From my research he was a prominent member of the town who was involved in recruiting for the war. Sadly survivors guilt played heavily on him and he ended his life post war. I would be happy to supply a photo of the medal group and am expecting his military file in the next week or so,
Regards,
Ray

Hi Ray,

I know it is a long time since this post but I am wondering if you see this message could you send me a picture of the medals. I am his great great grandson of JT Greeves O'Sullivan through his daughter Eileen Greeves O'Sullivan. After the death of my grandfather recently, I gained an interest in the family history and found lots of documents belonging to JT from WW1 that might be of interest to you, presuming you too are also a distant relative. In them he writes in detail to his wife on his time in France and Belgium.

Regards,
Liam
