Further research required Discharge due to amputation of middle finger of left hand after a shell fragments shattered the phalanges particularly the first phalange, while in the trenches before Sebastopol. According to the death notice of daughter Mary Malloy Catherine McGown was the niece of John McHale Archbishop of Tuan. Catherine was detained in the asylum from before 1872 until her death in 1906. |
