051022:

Here is a poem written by Thomas Greene which Dad Morry wrote into his 1960 diary. His words are not identical to the original provided by Enid O'Brien and he omitted the final stanza:

The Song or Poem

Oh! Ferryland, dear Ferryland
as the pictures come & go
As my fancy paints your beauty
Mid the scenes of long ago.

The old home by the seaside
Where the happy children play
Even now their voices reach me
Till it seems but yesterday.

Let the past become the present
Brush the mist of years away
And again on Sunny hill side
Life is all a holiday.




On the Gaze of dear old Ferryland
mid its spreading boughs of green
Where I oft times roved in boyhood
Many years now roll lie between.

Let the On the Downs of Dear old Ferryland
And the Verdant Isle Au Bois
Ocean waves & waving verdure
'Neath the sunny Southern skies.

Many lands I've travelled over
On their sunny slopes to rest
But the hills of dear old Ferryland
Are the ones I love the best.

On the hills of dear old Ferryland
Would ye all their beauty know
See them in the Silver Moonlight
When their tops are capped with Snow.

When the ice king reigns in splendor
There like sentinels they Stand
Watching ever calm & silent
Till it's dawn at Ferryland.

Apparently, THomas's daughter, Rose was a published poetess and may have asssisted in the writing of the poem. 5

Here is his commendation for the Caribou Hill adventure (From The Rooms website):

Regt. No.: 266 / O-43
Name: Greene, Walter Martin
Rank: Sergeant
Community: Bell Island
Occupation: Police Constable
Enlisted: September 2, 1914
Enlist. Age: 20
Fatality: November 21, 1917
Distinguished Conduct Medal
London Gazette, January 24th 1916
Action Date, 4th/5th November 1915 '96 Gallipoli.
For conspicuous gallantry on the night of 4-5 November 1915 on the Gallipoli Peninsula.
With an officer and six men he led the way out in front of our advanced line in order to support a party of his Regiment which was being heavily attacked and likely to be surrounded. The enemy were encountered at close range and when the officer and two men had been wounded, Sgt. Greene took command, drove off the Turks and brought in the wounded.

Richard Cramm tells us in The First Five Hundred that Walter Greene was one of only two men not wounded in this skirmish.

       Marriage: 14 Jun 1882 - Cloughjordan, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland 673

Marriage Events

•  Minister/Priest: Patrick Kennedy, C.C., 14 Jun 1882, Cloughjordan, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. 

•  Witnesses: William Cullen (Possibly Should Be Collins) And Honora Neary, 14 Jun 1882, Cloughjordan, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. 
Marriage Notes 




June 27, 2007: The name of the witness William Cullen may be spelled wrong. It couldbe Collins as her sister married a Thomas Collins and Thomas's brother, James, along with the same Honora(h) Neary were witnesses at that wedding. I suspect that William "Cullen" is actually the brother of Thomas and James Collins.
