TOPIC:

Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone can help with some notes I took 30+ years ago at the National Archives (then PRO). W.O. 83/11 contains court martial records. I have notes of a Cpl D McAlhane, R.I. Rifles (probably Royal Irish Rifles?) who was arrested for manslaughter. He was accused of getting drunk and, when denied more alcohol, shot and killed two persons. The CM occurred 16 October 1900 at Ladybrand, and the DJAG chose not to get involved on 28 December 1900.

I do not see a McAlhane in the database and I just want to get the details straight. Thanks.
