Does anyone have any information on a Alfred(?) Core or Corr (?), officer of the Dublin Fusiliers, who then transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, 1914-1918 ?
My father knew him as a customer in his pharmacy in the mid to late 1960s and early 1970s, he would also occasionly appear at Sunday Mass at St.Peter and Paul's Church in Ilford/Essex. I met him a couple of times, but as with old soldiers, he did not tell very much about his experiences of WW1, just the information mentioned, a further point, he had invented an incendiary rocket device on fighter aircraft for attacks on Zeppelins.
He was still living in the late 1960s and early 1970s in Ilford/GB ? I believe he was after WW1 a Chemist by profession.
Would be gratefull for any information.
