    Ma Ma Creek War MemorialPrint Page Print this page The memorial was erected in 1920 for Fleurine Elsie Andrews in memory of her three sons who were killed in World War One. The front plaque bears a leaded ivy leaf motif, inscriptions and the names and details of the three Andrews brothers who lost their lives. The memorial is situated in the St Stephens cemetery, directly behind the Andrews family plot. Although privately owned, it is the focus of public ANZAC Day memorial services. Front Inscription In proud and loving memory of Pte. James Martin Andrews, Killed in action in France, 5th August 1916, aged 26 years. Also Pte. George Henry Andrews, Killed in action in France, 9th June 1917, aged 28 years. And of Pte. Bertie Reginald Andrews, Killed in action in France, 10th June 1918, aged 20 years. Beloved sons of David, and Fleurine Elise Andrews. "Their name liveth for evermore." Source: www.monumentaustralia.org.au/display/93044-ma-ma-creek-wa...

    Well they pose like Americans! And they look like their swank! But those are typical Irish names are they not? So there's a case their ancestors emigrated to the states not so long ago that the've still connections back home. So the photo could be from France with them back from the front line waiting to be sent to action. There might also be a possibility band members being allocated to act in the medic/ambulance role. If it is taken in Ireland I guess the're either to or from France. The're might be a case for using Cobh or Derry port rather than sending a troopship closer to the u-boats than necessary. All speculation. Any clues on the back?

    Deirge Del Deirge, you say Doheny is typically Irish, yet there are only 10 Dohneys in the 1901 census and 5 in the 1911 census. Perhaps at the time of this postcard there were more Dohneys in the USA than Ireland? Niall McAuley
  • Deirge Del said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I'm only a guessing Doheny looks like it might be an Irish surname, it sort of rolls off the tongue. A possibly more fruitful approach might be searching American serviceman records but that's not my area of expertise, I don't have a clue where to start or find the relevant database, or how to get access. For the UK www.archives.gov/research/genealogy/wwi would be a start point ... I don't know the US equivalent though I see a few wanting my dollars.

    314 Dohenys, in 1911, a more common spelling/version of the name in Ireland.
