Pte. Michael Wixted 2nd Btn. Royal Dublin Fusilliers

Michael Wixted was born in January 1889. He joined the British Army in mid 1915 and was allotted to the 7th Royal Irish Rifles. There is evidence of a Leinster Regiment being formed around this time and it is probable that along with thousands of other young Dubliner's, he enlisted. From his Medal Roll Card, we know he arrived in France with a Draft in early 1916 He had been transferred to the 8th Royal Dublin Fusiliers by late 1917, having left his original Regiment for reasons and a date unknown but likely to be due to a wound or sickness

He was posted to the 2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers in February 1918 when the 8th Battalion was disbanded. In total 400 men were absorbed into both the 1st and 2nd Royal Dublin Fusilier Battalions on the 10th of February 1918. 200 men being absorbed into each Battalion.

Michael was captured by German forces on the 21st of March 1918 in the town of St. Quentin in France. This was during a very heavy offensive of 500,000 German Troops against some 200,000 Allied Troops. Sometime after his capture, Michael had been transferred to Soltau Prisoner of War Camp, Germany. He was repatriated to England in January 1919.

On 11th of July 1915, the Battalion sailed to Mitillini on the island of Levos, Greece off the west coast of Turkey. He was wounded in action and was posted on 23rd of August 1915 to Depot in Cork, Southern Ireland.

On 23ed of March 1916, Thomas was posted to the 1st Battalion, which was placed within the 86th Brigade, 29th Division and deployed to the Picardie, Flanders, and Normandy regions of France. On 28th of August, he was promoted to unpaid Lance Corporal during the battle of the Somme (he always stated this was because of his tea-making excellence). He was promoted to Corporal on 6th of March 1917. Wounded on the Somme, he was sent to 3rd (Reserve) Battalion to convalesce in Cork, Southern Ireland. Afterwards, in July 1917, he was assigned to the 1st Battalion in France and then to the 9th (Service) Battalion, which later become 8/9th Battalion. He also served with the 2nd Battalion.

In April 1918, he was assigned back to the 1st Battalion due to the 2nd Battalion being reduced to cadre. On 5th of October 1918, he was posted to Depot, which by all accounts was in the Grimsby area of England. On 5th of December 1918, he was posted to Command Depot in Tipperary, Southern Ireland. On 10 January 1919, he was sent to the dispersal area in Purfleet, Essex. One month later, on 9th Feb 1919, Thomas was demobbed at the age of 21.

Pte. Alfred William Thacker Woolcock 9th Btn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers (d.7th February 1917)

1916

Alfred Woolcock served with the 9th Battalion, Royal Dublin Fusiliers in WW1. He was 44 years of age when he was killed in action on 7th of February 1917 on the Belgian front near Kemmel.

He joined the regiment at Swansea shortly before it went to France in December 1915 and would surely have been considered an old man compared to the majority of his comrades. He had worked in Swansea docks for at least 5 years before joining up. It must have been difficult to see so many young men go off to fight and it's assumed he felt he could no longer stay behind. It's not known why he joined the Dublin Fusiliers (there were 4 other men killed during WW1 who did so from the Swansea area) but Alfred left behind a widow Sarah Ann and 2 young children. His son Fred was 3 years old when he watched his father march through the streets of Swansea, never to return.

>William Griffin served with the 2nd Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers in WW1. He left for France on 23rd of August 1914 aboard the ship SS Caledonia. After their training in India, near St Julian, they fired the first shot from all the Irish Regiments on the 24th of May 1915. The 2nd Battalion's trench was only 60 metres from the German lines. They heard the valves being released on the gas machines in Shell Shock Farm. It was the first time gas was used on the Western Front. William perished with almost the whole battalion on the morning of 24th of May 1915. He was 20 years old. He has no known grave but is remembered on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial in Belgium.

William came from Carmens Hall, Francis St., Dublin. He was my Irish great uncle. My English side had 9 other family members fight, two in WW1 and seven in WW2. We have another unknown grave in Mesopotamia.

CROWN AND COMPANY 1911-1922. 2nd Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers

Col. H. C. Wylly


This volume is concerned principally with the battalion’s service in the Great War during which it fought on the Western Front in 10th Brigade, 4th Division till the end of 1916 when it was transferred to 48th Brigade of 16th(Irish) Division. The last part gives a very full and often moving description of the disbandment of the battalion. 269 officers and 4508 WOs, NCOs and men of the Regiment died during the war and an appendix lists the names of the officers showing which battalion they were serving in. There is a full list of Honours and Awards including Mentions in Despatches and foreign awards for the whole regiment. Another appendix lists the officers of the 1st and 2nd battalions serving at the time of disbandment and shows which regiments they transferred to or whether they retired.
Pals at Suvla Bay

Henry Hanna


This is an unusual book in that it is the record of a company, a company of the 7th Royal Dublin Fusiliers(RDF) - `D' Company - at Gallipoli. The battalion was raised in August 1914 and allocated to 30th Brigade, 10th Irish Division. At the request of a Mr Browning, President of the Irish Rugby Football Union, the CO of the new battalion agreed to keep open a special company, `D' Company as it was subsequently known, for "Pals" from the Irish Rugby Union volunteers. It was a remarkable mix of volunteers - barristers, doctors, solicitors, stockbrokers, bankers, civil servants and the like, nearly all well known in Dublin's public and social life. Training in Ireland went on until, on the last day of April 1915, 7th RDF sailed for Holyhead and from there travelled to Basingstoke, the concentration area of the 10th Division. The final period training at divisional level lasted to the end of June and a week later they were off to the Dardanelles. They landed at Suvla Bay on the morning of

Beneath a Turkish Sky: The Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the Assault on Gallipoli

Philip Lecane


It was the First World War's largest seaborne invasion and the Irish were at the forefront. Recruited in Ireland, the Royal Dublin Fusiliers were ordered to spearhead the invasion of Gallipoli in Turkey. Deadlocked in trench warfare on the Western Front, the British High Command hoped the assault would be Germany's ally out of the war. Using letters and photographs, this book tells the story of the 'Dubs' officers and men called from an idyllic posting in England. They then set off on what was presented as a great adventure to win glory and capture Constantinople. The book also gives the story of the Turkish defenders and the locality being invaded. Accomapnied by the Royal Munster Fusiliers, packed aboard the SS River Clyde, the 'Dubs' landed from boats on the fiercely defended beach at Sedd-el-Bahr. The song The Foggy Dew says, "It were better to die beneath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sedd-el-Bahr." This book tells the story of the forgotten Irishmen who died beneath a Turkish
Irishmen in the Great War 1914-1918

Tom Burnell, Editor


Twenty-seven Irish newspapers for the period covering the Great War have been trawled through to deliver the amazing stories of those years which changed the world for ever. These are the accounts of local men at the front; of torpedoed ships; drunken wives; final letters and requests from the trenches. Also eyewitness accounts of the slaughter as it was happening; battle reports from officers serving in Irish regiments; quirky snippets; chaplains' sympathetic letters; P.o.W reports of conditions and war poetry. Here are the tales of the Leinster’s, Munster’s, Connaught’s and Dublin Fusiliers serving in the Ulster Division, 10th and 16th Irish Divisions. We read of medical breakthroughs, paranormal occurrences and miraculous escapes from death. After the Irish Rebellion of April, 1916, these type of articles and casualty lists dwindled to very few as Irish hearts became divided.
