Has anyone any information on this regiment during WW1. Members lists photo's where they were sent to fight etc. Looking for info on a Gabriel Joseph Farrell born 1898 in Co Longford. Thanks. Jean.

Hi Jean - are you related to Gabriel? He was my great uncle. I know his son John lives in Birmingham
 
There is a very interesting Connaught Rangers museum and archive in Boyle, Co Roscommon, Ireland based in a building called the King House. This very large former barracks was their main base in Ireland and is now a museum with a large number of exhibits as well as the Connaught Rangers section. The regiment was disbanded following Irish independence in 1922 but was not forgotten about as a lot of local people served in it. If ever in that part of Ireland the town of Boyle and the King House is well worth a visit.
