Carlow Sentinel. May 17th 1919. ROLL OF HONOUR. LIEUT. JAMES KANE-SMITH, M.C. We regret to find amongst the official causality list this week the death of this gallant young Carlow soldier, who was eldest son of Mr and Mrs Kane-Smith, Little Moyle. He was attached to the R.F.A., and some months back was reported wounded and missing, but hopes of recovery were entertained up to the last. He was awarded the M.C. for distinguished services, while his kind and genial disposition made him a fast favourite amongst his many friends, who mourn his loss, and sympathise deeply with his bereaved parents.

Hi Michael This latest one has added another mystery to the Carlow War Memorial as this Jame Kane Smith is not listed.  Another name to add to the Missing names page.   However with him been award a Military Cross MC he is a bit easier to find more information   This is from London Gazette 9th of January 1918   T./2nd Lt. James Kane-Smith, R.F.A. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his battery was being heavily shelled he showed a total disregard for his personal safety in moving from gun-pit to gun-pit encouraging the men. He was in charge of the guns at the time, and although himself wounded, by his fearlessness and determination he rallied the men and maintained the accuracy of the fire of the battery. He also arranged for the wounded to be cleared before allowing his own wound to be dressed.   --- El lun, 22/3/10, michael purcell <carlowmike@gmail.com> escribió: De: michael purcell <carlowmike@gmail.com> Asunto: [IRL-CARLOW] Great War, Roll of Honour.
