  • Martin GERRAGHTY hit by train

    Hello all

    I was just wondering if somebody could do me a huge favour please and help me with a newspaper clipping?

    Ive had help with this before but my email messed up and i lost the info (So now im going to print off straight away)

    My Grt Grt Uncle Martin Gerraghty was hit by a train on the 14th of November 1939 whilst serving in the Somerset Light Infantry.
    He and two other soldiers by the names of Archibald Marsh and Albert Trigg were walking back to base on the main GWR tracks towards Burlescombe Devon when they were struck and killed.

    I would be most greatful if when somebody is next in the Archives if they could please get a copy of the newspaper article. I think it was to do with their funeral and it was quite long.
    I will send whatever money is required for postage and the money for the photocopy.

    The info has been confirmed on the Times Online.

    Many thanks in advance

            Its funny but ive not been able to find any info on the other two soldiers except that newspaper article and the CWCG.

              hmmn,

              there has to be some sort of info, praps a local paper? to the accident? or email the library in Burlescombe, (If there is one,) and see if any local papers covered it, I would think that they did.
