Today on the hundredth anniversary of the Armistice, which ceased fighting at the end of World War One, we remember all those from Millstreet who took part and died in the war that was meant to end all wars.
In 2010 we published a list of 15 Millstreet men who had died in WWI, but with little detail, only names, dates, and the country of their death. Since then we have been gathering information on all those with local connections that were involved in the Great War. They fought with the British, American, Canadian, New Zealand, and Australian armies. These are the names of the 44 45 that died and the 87 108+ who survived that we know of:

On top of those, there is a list of 57 Draft Registrations of Millstreet men who were living in the US at the time of the 1917 Draft, but whose number thankfully for them weren’t called out.
Undoubtedly there are more, but we haven’t found them yet. If you have information on these or other men involved, please contact us.
If you want to see the notes above, just please ask.
I would like to see the notes for this list please. I’m wondering if any of these men are related to me.
Regards
Eileen Murphy
Eileen, that would mean sending you 130+ different documents (one for each soldier). Any chance you could narrow down your request please.
Thanks for responding. Murphy, Mill Lane is a possibility. I don’t think there were any Gleeson’s on the list
That Michael Murphy (Mick Punk) of Mill Lane on the list was from Laught, a few miles out the road, and only lived on Mill Lane in his later years.
I see that you enquired about the Murphys back in 2012:
http://www.millstreet.ie/blog/2012/07/11/genealogy-ellie-murphy-mill-lane-upper
… but no progress was made at the time. It needs a bit more investigating. What exactly are you looking for? Is it the families further back, or is it living relations?
Thanks again for responding. You keep excellent records. I have more time now to look into my family history and as I live in Charleville it will be easy for me to go to Millstreet to do a bit of research. The post helped to remind me that I would like to do it. In order to try and see if I have any living relatives in Millstreet, I will need to go back. My mother told us very little about her family and I would like to start with her mother known as Ellie Murphy when she lived in Mill Lane as a child. On her birth cert it says Ellen Gleeson so I’m guessing her mother married Bart Murphy some years after her birth, which of course means he may not have been her father. I have a certain amount of information but would love to find some relatives or someone who knew of the family and could tell me about them. Although that is probably very unlikely. I am going to pull out the information that I have and try to work out where to go from there. Any help would be appreciated.
6. Michael Murphy Mill Lane please
Could I request my Grandad’s notes please Micheal. Many Thanks Bridget Kelly.
Hi Michael, extremely interesting.
I would like a copy of the notes on Timothy Daly (number 90) please.
Hi Cora, this morning we had 88 in the list. We have added two today, and Timothy Daly is one of those. All we have really is his name and Murphy’s Terrace, so will have to start digging.
Greetings from Michigan, USA! Can I have any info on John Carroll, Mill Lane and Pittsburgh. My great grandpa was Timothy Carroll, son of Daniel Carroll and Katherine Kelleher. I am always looking to add to my family tree. Thank you for sharing this list.
Could I please get the notes for Denis Healy Cloghoulamore. As he is related to me.
Michael, thanks. Could you publish the notes for nos. 7 and 68 please. Jack Lane
Michael, could you publish the notes for no. 21,George Powell,on the 88 that survived list. Thanks,Leo Mc Sweeney.
Wish I could help you, but I’ve nothing done on the powells of flintfield house thus far, other than noting that all four of the boys in the family survived the war:
Lieut. Capt George Powell, Flintfield House, RAMC
Capt. Eric James Powell, Flintfield House, King’s African Rifles
Ievan Herbert Powell, Lieut. in R.A.M.C.
Walter Baldwin Eyre Powell, Royal Flying Corps
George went out to Africa (Northern Rhodesia) after World War I with the Colonial Medical Service. He retired to a coffee farm in
Kenya and died there in 1957.
I will get to them eventually.
Thanks very much for that info Michael. I will be interested if you find out anymore on the Powells. Leo
Hi Michael
Could I please have access to the notes for Patrick John O’Leary, Adrivale (No. 9 on the list).
My father was O’Leary from Adrivale.
Thanks Michael.
Breda
Breda, I tried to reply to you privately with the links you are looking for (as we are not sharing the links globally at the moment), but your email address is “undeliverable”. Could you email us directly at <<email>> and we’ll send them to you, thanks, Michael
Breda,
The Patrick John O’Leary who was the son of John Patrick O’Leary (1856-1924) that is on the list was my Grandfather.
My Great Grandfather John Patrick O’Leary left Ireland in the mid 1880’s.

This is a most interesting article as it highlights something that ought to have been written about years ago so thanks to Michael for this, did not realize that so many young men from Millstreet fought in World war 1, but then Ireland did lose the most men of any Country per capita in World War 1, sadly they were never honoured in Ireland due to the promise of freedom of small Nations that Lloyd George then went back on as most of these young men believed they were fighting for Irish freedom, it should not be who they fought for only what they fought for, i for one would feel a very proud migrant from Millstreet if i read that at the Easter Sunday commeration in Millstreet they had a minute silence for ‘The Brave Young Men Of Ireland’ as one small stone in a pool can cause a ripple.
The brave young men of Ireland who died in World War One
Their lives not celebrated when the battle had been won
Forgotten in their Homeland not one monument to their fame
That they are not remembered does seem an awful shame.
Lloyd George made them a promise that if they fought under the Union Jack
That Ireland to the Irish he would be handing back
And they thought that they were fighting for Irish freedom when they fought on Britain’s side
And in the trenches of Europe thousands of young Irish died.
The brave young men of Ireland by Lloyd George were misled
He promised for to hand back Ireland to the Irish and they believed him when he said
That for their services to Britain’s war cause small Nations their freedom would receive
But politicians are deceitful and they know how to deceive.
The brave young men of Ireland by the British Prime Minister were betrayed
He went back on a promise that to them by him was made
They are treated as traitors in their Homeland and honour to them is denied
Though they thought they fought for Ireland and in Ireland’s cause they died.
They left their Irish towns and villages back in nineteen fourteen
The brave young men of Ireland their likes not since been seen
Yet disowned as traitors in their Homeland seems such a sad thing to say
They fought and died for Lloyd George’s glory and their bones in Europe lay.
The brave young men of Ireland of them we should feel proud
They were the true war heroes where the gunfire echoed loud
For the love of their Homeland such a sacrifice they made
But never in their honour a ceremony or parade.

Hi Michael,
Congratulations on compiling this historic and amazing list.
Another man who survived WW2 is Denis Corcoran, my uncle. He emigrated from Kilmeedy to the US in 1917 and was immediately conscripted into the US army, not realizing this would happen. After several month training he was sent to France and served there with the US army for nine months, till the end of the war. After the war he joined the New York Fire Dept. He retired to Ireland in the 1950s and lived at the Killarney Road, near Neily Duggan’s, opposite Charlie Cooper’s, and later in the Clara Road. He died in 1973 and is buried in St Mary’s Cemetery, where the US Army erected a headstone similar to the ones in the military cemeteries in France.
He had two brothers who lived in Millstreet, Darby (draper in the West End) and Mick (home farm in Kilmeedy), also two sisters, Peggy (nurse) and Katie (my mother in Cloughoulabeg)
Regards
Con Kelleher
Thanks Con,
indeed you are right about your uncle. I missed him because his place of birth was transcribed as “Nillstreet” instead of Millstreet.
I will forward you the notes on him
Thanks, Michael, for sending me that huge amount of information in the notes for Denis Corcoran. It’s nice to know the correct year when he emigrated, namely 1914 and not 1917 as I thought. Also that he went with neighbours, the Healys, Denis (who was later killed in the war) and Margaret from Cloughoulamore, both of whom then travelled on to San Francisco, while Denis Corcoran stayed in New York till he was conscripted into the army.
Once again, congrats on a monumental achievement.
Con Kelleher
Hi Michael,
I would like to add two more names to the list of Millstreet men who returned from WWI.
Jeremiah and Daniel Forde, Station Road, brothers of Patrick who was killed 1st Sept. 1914.
Jeremiah joined the Royal Munster Fusiliers in Cork and fought in Egypt and perhaps France as well.
Daniel joined the Royal Engineers Inland Water Transport in Mallow. He was in Basra and Mesopotamia.
Patrick`s name is on memorial in La Ferte – Sous- Jouarre near Paris.
This memorial commemorates over 3700 British and Irish soldiers with no known grave who fell in battle in that area in Aug. Sept. and early Oct. 1914.
I would be interested in any notes you may have on my father Jeremiah and his two brothers.
Thank you for keeping the memory of these brave men from our town alive.
Donie Forde.
Many thanks Donie for letting me know of these two soldiers that are missing from the list.
Indeed I had notes on Jeremiah, but for some reason he didn’t get on the list. It makes me think that there are a few more in my notes that I have missed, so I will have to go back and track them down.
My notes on Patrick are not complete, and need to be done. However I have no notes at all on Daniel, and a quick search revealed nothing either.
I will forward you the notes on Jeremiah privately, and the notes on Patrick and Daniel as soon as they are ready. Michael
No.41 William Beirne was my great uncle. He lived briefly in Millstreet c.1909 when he was 13 yrs old. His father was in the RIC and was stationed in Millstreet around then. I would be grateful if you could send me notes on him. Thanks, Niall Beirne
If possible to add another name to the list of survivors–
John Grace of Lombardstown and Banteer
Pte, 5414, Prince of Wales’s Leinster Regiment
Pte, T/309685, Royal Army Service Corp

Michael.
My mother Margaret Dennehy,formerly of the Old Tanyard, had a first cousin Daniel Dennehy,also from the Tanyard, who joined the Royal Navy in August 1916, at the age of 15 years. After initial training in Portsmouth he saw active service on the North Atlantic Convoy routes. He served on HMS Orvieto from July 1917 until February 1919. He survived the war.
Michael,
My Grandfather was David Bohan (110) on your list. His brother Patrick, living in Knocknagree at the time, was in the 2nd Battalion Munster Fusiliers and was wounded in France in 1915. I would appreciate any ‘notes’ you can supply about my Grandfather from the period.
Thanks.
Well then, isn’t it Mr Liam Quigley himself! How do you do? Been looking to get in contact with you for a few years. My name is Josh Whitmore and been doing family tree on our family on Ancestry.com. My Great Grandmother is your first cousin, her name was Bridget F. Ward (Nee Dowling) who’s grandfather is also David Bohan.
Michael, I would also like notes on Patrick (1884-1957) and David Bohan (1882-1969). David Bohan is my 3rd Great Grandfather and Patrick is his brother.
<email>
John Murphy here. I lived on the same street as David Bohan, in Hi Mill Lane Millstreet.
In the year 1961 his daughter Sheila Bohan looney asked me to ring Dave to London. He was elderly then.
He had five daughters and a son.
Jack, Mrs Dowling, Mrs Skelly, Mrs Nagle, Mrs Quigley & Mrs Looney.
As far as I know they all ended up in London.
Sheila lived in Fulham Palace Road next to the Catholic Church just off Hammersmith Broadway.
Hope this helps
Seano
Seano,
Thanks for the reply. It’s a long time since you brought my Grandfather over to England and I’m happy to hear from you and hope you are well. Yes, Fulham Palace Road next to the Broadway, it was in Hammersmith and a place named Guiness Buildings. Did you stay there yourself for any length of time? There was a great pub there called the Britana (it’s gone now) where you ever in it?
Thanks and keep well,
Liam.
Wow good to know that you supported my 3rd Great Grandfather David Bohan to move to down south of England in London from Ireland . Any information on what ship he was on before finally residing in England?
Mrs Dowling (Ellen Dowling – formerly Bohan) is my 2nd Great Grandmother. Did you ever get to meet her? What was she and David like in person?
Lots of the family I have been told and seen on electoral rolls in my search most of the family lived in or around Hammersmith at one point. So, all not that far from one another indeed. None of them of Sheila’s generation is alive anymore. Sheila was the last one alive till about 2009 at the age of 92. Unfortunately, never met any of them. Though, lots of their children/descendants are in which now a days alive all over the UK and still some in Ireland too.
Hope your all well,
Josh
Hi I am enquiring about accessing some information about your section on Millstreet’s WW1 Soldiers. Number 53 John Murphy who survived (Oxfordshire Light Infantry). If I could have the information in the notes about him please as I can’t seem to access it. I have found his war record but would like to see what information you have. I’m quite happy to supply you his war record from the national archives
If so I would be extremely grateful. Thanking you
Can I please have a copy of the notes on Patrick Kelleher – Paddy the Clipper as I believe he is the brother of my grandfather Jeremiah (Jerry) Kelleher.
Hello! Could I please have a copy of the notes for Denis Healy, Cloghoulamore, U.S. 1st Division, 8th October 1918, North of Verdun [notes2]. Thank you.
