Dear Alan, welcome to Ireland Reaching Out, the aim of Ireland Reaching Out is to reconnect the Irish Diaspora with the parishes of origin in Ireland, saying that I had a quick look but could not locate any newspaper article, as Guy was in service with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, it might not have hit the newspapers here in Ireland.
Attached Guys soldiers effects in case you do not have this yet, it states the cause of death; drowing
Thanks for your reply I have the above Effects record and also other service records, just wondered the circumstances of his drowning and who was the comrade he saved if the comrade survived.
Regards
Alan
