    The title says ... Charge of the Warwick and Worcester Yeomanry at Huj, near Gaza, on the 8th November, 1917. Preceding the fall of Jerusalem 8 November 1917 was a Thursday ... 10 May 1921 was a Tuesday ...

    How the Birmingham Daily Post reported the action on Monday 12 November 1917. No mention of British casualties.
    Details have now been received of an action of the Warwickshire Yeomanry and Worcestershire Yeomanry on November 8. General Officer Commanding, reconnoitring near Huj, saw a considerable body of the enemy with guns marching about 2,500 yards away in a north-easterly direction. He ordered the Yeomanry to charge the retiring enemy. The charge was at once carried out in face of heavy-gun and machine-gun and rifle fire with a gallantry and dash worthy of the best traditions of British cavalry. Twelve guns were captured, the Austrian gunners being killed wounded at the guns. Three machine guns and 100 prisoners were also captured. This completely broke the hostile resistance and enabled to push on Huj.

    I see a few Byrnes in Ardfinnan census records, but not a good match for this family. Could be from a townland near Ardfinnan but not recorded as Ardfinnan in the census, or worse, the new pries Father Byrne could be in Ardfinnan in 1905 and his family could be from anywhere.

    i can just make out "our prizes" on the newspaper, first letter of title... any guesses
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I see a number of male Byrnes in 1901 who are Students, some clearly in seminaries like Maynooth or Carlow, but none born in Tipp.
