221812 Pte. James Fitzhenry Baird British Army Royal Army Medical Corps from:County Wicklow (d.1st Nov 1917) My grandmother from Glasgow married James Fitzhenry Baird, a Spirit salesman from Dublin who came over to enlist in the British Army he was a Cook with the Royal Army Medical in 10th Irish Division. He left Glasgow for war and she gave birth to a baby boy my father. James died never having seen the child. She never had any letters from him but the war department sent his medals and the soldiers pass book, which I now have. A few years later she was introduced to a gentleman who she married and he became my Papa. I have always had associations with the Irish and also Greece not knowing what the strong link was until recently when I did a bit of research and found out where he was born and also that he was buried in Lebet Road Salonika Greece.It would indeed be interesting to hear if any one in Dublin is connected. I was delighted to find this website and have found it to be very interesting.
