I have just sent an email with some newspaper clippings ... as there is a degree of overlap between your project and mine, it would be good to meet and exchange information.

Did you receive the email with the newspaper clippings?
There are 183 men (fatalities and survivors) from 10th Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles in my Belfast Presbyterians spreadsheet and I have the following
Alternatively, I could filter the records according to addresses.
I am happy to share this information.

Leaving aside the Presbies, I am sure that will be a lot of Sandy Row/Village men in my newspaper pictures library of over 10,000 servicemen.

Irish Independent, October 1916. Most Rev. Dr. Crozier, addressing shipyard workers at Queen’s Island, Belfast, yesterday, on prohibition during the war, referred to his visit to the Somme, of his meeting with many Belfast men, and of christening a trench, and their request, “Donegall Pass.” He appealed to his hearers to kill the awful enemy of drunkenness. It was the working man who could arouse the nation.
