Yes, Michael. I've looked at the UK Archives. But I have yet to figure them out, My maternal grandfather, from Kilkee, County Clare, was in the Royal Navy and I have his war medals. They are stamped R.N.R. for Royal Naval Reserve, but so far I can't find any record of him in the UK archives. What I was looking for with regard to James (O') Regan was if anyone had access to resources to determine if he was the Sergeant O'Regan that was shot in the leg on 23 November 1930 "while on protection duty at the residence of the Ceann Comhairle (chairman of the Dail), Rathgar, Co. Dublin."
