He _m._ at Christ Church, Leeson Park, Dublin, 24 Aug. 1910, Dorothy Isabella Tuthill (12, St. Keven's Park, Rathgar, Dublin), only child of the late Henry Johnson, of Oaklands, Upper Assam, and had two sons: George Villiers Grant, _b._ 31 May, 1911; and Dermot Harry Tuthill, _b._ 5 July, 1912. [Illustration: =George Grant Duggan.=] =DUGGAN, JOHN ROWSELL=, Lieut., 5th Battn. (Pioneers) The Royal Irish Regt., 5th and yst. _s._ of George Duggan, of 5, College Street, Dublin and Ferney, Greystones, co. Wicklow, Manager, Provincial Bank of Ireland, Ltd., Dublin, by his wife, Emilie Asenath, dau. of Col. Charles Coote Grant, late Bedfordshire Regt. (died 23 Aug. 1914); _b._ Dublin, 31 Oct. 1894; educ. The High School, Dublin, where he won a 1st Class Scholarship, and passed into Trinity College, Dublin, in 1912. There he joined the Medical School and became, like his brother, a prominent Member of the O.T.C. On the outbreak of war he relinquished his medical studies and was gazetted 2nd Lieut., 5th Royal Irish Regt., 15 Aug. 1914, and promoted Lieut., 28 Jan. 1915. He left with his regt. for the Dardanelles early in July, 1915, as part of the 10th Division, and was killed in action on the Karakol Dagh Spur, above Suvla Bay, 16 Aug. 1915; _unm._ He was at first reported wounded and missing and no officer saw him fall, but the Medical Officer of the Dressing Station at Suvla Bay, to whom Lieut. Duggan went when shot through his (left) wrist and with shrapnel injury to face and side, told him he should go to the Hospital Ship. He said his men were without an officer so he rejoined them in the firing line, and the subsequent story is briefly told by his Sergt. P. J. Nolan (on whose testimony his death was officially reported). "He left the firing line, had his wounds dressed and returned shortly afterwards, when he was hit in the face with an explosive bullet and killed." To his father, Sergt. Nolan wrote: "Your son could have saved his own life, but he was always good to his men and he died encouraging them to fight till the last"; and his Col., the Earl of Granard, wrote: "I am sorry to tell you that your son has been missing since 16 Aug. He went with his company into action on that date, and we have not seen him since. I have enquired from several of the men of his company and they all tell me that he was wounded whilst gallantly leading his men. I sincerely hope that he is a prisoner, and it is always a consolation to know that the Turks treat their prisoners with the greatest consideration. I have now soldiered for a great many years and can honestly say that I never came across a better subaltern; and as regards his social qualifications, he was beloved by all ranks of the regt." Lieut. Duggan was a noted rifle shot and won many medals and prizes, including "Daily Express" and "Lord Roberts'" Medals; Adjutant's Cup of Trinity College, O.T.C., and he was presented with a rifle for the highest aggregate score in Leinster Schools, 1912.
