Killed in action 31/07/1917 Age 29 Memorial: Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial Son of John E, and Ellen Furniss, of Straid, Ballynure, Co. Antrim I would appreciate if anyone could help me with any information about this officer, his background, his career, his units, were he fought and were he died and a picture of him and about the Royal Irish Rifles 4th Bn. I visited the Somme-area this summer including the Ulster Tower and Thiepval and my interest increased when I recently bought the sword
