257603

Pte. Denis Healy 8th Btn. Royal Munster Fusiliers

Denis Healy served with the 8th Battalion, Royal Munster Fusiliers and the 1st Garrison Battalion, Royal Irish Fusiliers in WW1. He had served in South Africa with the the North Cork Militia 9th (Militia) Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corpsfrom 1st of May 1893 to 2nd of May 1903.

On 24th of August 1915 at age 44 Denis Healy rejoined the army this time serving with The Royal Munster Fusiliers0. He served in France from 19th of December 1915 to 7th of July 1917, which entitled him to the 1915 Star Medal. It would appear from the initial date in France that he would have been with the 8th Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers, which was formed in Sep/Oct 1914 at Fermoy as part of the Second New Army, then moved to Mitchelstown, County Cork and joined the 47th Brigade of the 16th Division. In 1915 Moved to Templemore in February then back to Fermoy in May then in September to Blackdown, Aldershot. On the 18th of December 1915 they mobilised for war and landed at Havre. They were engaged in various actions on the Western Front including, The Battle of Guillemont and The Battle of Ginchy. On the 23rd of November 1916 the Battalion was disbanded in France and the remaining personnel moved to the 1st Battalion which transferred to the 47th Brigade of the 16th Division and continued to engage in action on the Western Front. During 1917 he saw action in The Battle of Messines, The first Battle of Cambrai, Third Battles of Ypres.

We then have a gap in Denis's service from 7th of July 1917 to 22nd of December 1917. Could he have been recovering from multiple neuritis at that time? He may have been admitted to the Royal Hospital Chelsea as an award of a War Disablement Pension was subsequently made in respect of the condition multiple neuritis, regrettably no payment details remain at The War Pensions Agency.

Presumably, on 22nd of December 1917 he joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers and according to the RIF Attestation Book he served in India until 25th of September 1920. He was discharged in Dublin on 23rd of November 1920 with his address given as 25 Gould Street, Cork. It appears that the only RIF battalion in India was the 1st Garrison Btn RIF which in February 1916 had deployed to India and in May 1917 deployed to Burma.

Pte Richard Healy 1st Btn Royal Munster Fusiliers (d.28th Jun 1915)

My husband's grandfather and two brothers fought in the war. It was only when I showed a relation's father the 1910 census that he said "I never remember having an uncle Richard" that I was able to put a name on the brother that never came back.

Having looked into it I found out he was killed in Gallipoli.

I wonder does anyone know of any group that arrange tours of the Gallipoli?

Thanking you. Deirdre

Pte. William O'Brien 7th Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers

William O'Brien was born and raised in Tipperary Town and enlisted in May 1915 whilst the 49th Brigade were stationed at the town barracks. He was assigned to the 7th Btn. Royal Irish Fusiliers, a part of the 16th Irish Division. After initial training they embarked for England and were stationed at Pirbright in Surrey for more training whilst waiting to be posted overseas. They were sent to the Ypres sector in early 1916 and were holding trenches at Hulluch where they and several other Irish battalions were gassed during Easter Week 1916.

William saw some of the worst fighting on the Somme in September that year at Combles, Guillemont and Ginchy. After heavy losses the 7th Battalion was amalgamated with the 8th to form the 7th/8th. William continued to serve with them throughout 1917 serving at Passchendaele and Cambrai until the Battalion was disbanded in early 1918 and he transferred to 1st Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers. He saw out the war with them eventually being discharged as medically unfit in June 1919.

He was given the Silver War Badge, British War Medal and Victory Medal. He was proud of his war service but it must have been difficult in the post war years as the local area was heavily involved in the War of Independence against Crown forces. All of William's sons went on to serve in either the Irish or British army including my grandfather and his youngest son Patrick was killed in action in Germany in April 1945.

William worked as a jarvey and died in Tipperary Town in the early 1950s and is buried in St Mary's Churchyard.

Ireland's Unknown Soldiers: The 16th (Irish) Division in the Great War

Terence Denman


The Great War of 1914-18 saw the Irish soldier make his greatest sacrifice on Britain's behalf. Nearly 135,000 Irishmen volunteered (conscription was never applied in Ireland) in addition to the 50,000 Irish who were serving with the regular army and the reserves on 4 August 1914. Within a few weeks of the outbreak of the war no less than three Irish divisions - the 10th (Irish), 16th (Irish) and 36th (Ulster) - were formed from Irishmen, Catholic and Protestant, who responded to Lord Kitchener's call to arms. An estimated 35,000 Irish-born soldiers were killed before the armistice came in November 1918. Over 4,000 of those who died were with the 16th (Irish) Division.
Letters from the Trenches: A Soldier of the Great War

Bill Lamin


Harry Lamin was born in Derbyshire in 1877 and left school at thirteen to work in the lace industry, but by December 1916 he had been conscripted into the 9th Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment and sent to war. Harry's letters home to his family describe the conflict with a poignant immediacy, even ninety years on, detailing everything from the action in battle to the often amusing incidents of life amongst his comrades.Throughout the letters, Harry's tone is unwaveringly stoical, uncomplaining and good-humoured. "Letters From The Trenches" is a fitting tribute to the unsung heroes of the Great War who fought and endured and returned home, and the one in six who did not. The letters describe the war through the eyes of those who really lived it, bringing the horrors and triumphs to life for the twenty-first-century reader. Edited by Harry's grandson, Bill, "Letters From The Trenches" tells the moving story of a brave, selfless and honourable man who endured everything that the war
