P.O. Maurice Reid
Royal Navy HMS Illustrious
from:Whitegate, Co. Cork
(d.23rd Aug 1914)
We, as children knew only that our Grandfather died in the First World War but we knew hardly anything about the man our Grandmother married and sadly lost when she was a young woman of 31. Our Grandfather was 47 when he died leaving two daughters and a son and a third daughter was born after he died.
Through the internet and some wonderful sites like your own I found out quite a bit about him but never saw a photograph of him and I know nothing about his family. My Grandmother was from Whitegate, Co. Cork so I assume they met in Spike Island or some such place. I'm passionate now about finding out as much as I can about him.
Will keep in touch with your site.
