Sgt. Thomas Patrick O'Keeffe
British Army Corps of Military Police
from:Newbridge
(d.30th August 1945)
Thomas O'Keeffe was my grandfather. He died in August 1945. He originally served with the Royal Irish Fusiliers then, during WW2, joined the Corps of Military Police.
Following his death, his widow Kathleen Alice O'Keeffe moved to Darwen in Lancashire with her two young children and made a new life there. Her daughter, Kathleen Roselyn O'Keeffe, married my father Peter Summerfield and they had three children.
He is buried in St. Conleth's Cemetery in County Kildare.
I understand he was a drummer in the Army and would love to find more information on this, as well as his other military records.
