A descendant of the man above is to visit his grave in May of this year.

I have supplied details from Btn. war diary plus CWGC and other snippets from my own general research. I know he joined in May 1915 and note that other men he joined with in that week featured at 1st day on Somme etc.

If anyone could have a look in a certain software program for any additional material relating to this man, I would be very grateful.

Only thing showing up for him is a small entry in 'Ireland's Casualties of War' which shows no more than the SDGW record as above.

If you'd like it (it's quite nice the way they've done it actually), pm me your email and I'll send it across for you.
