233814 Cpl. Joseph Connolly British Army 6th Btn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers from:Dublin (d.4th Oct 1916) Joseph Connolly was killed in the Balkans. His younger brother Thomas witnessed his much adored brother's head blown off before him in the trenches. Thomas was very young, maybe 16. Thomas survived and returned to Dublin. He married May Byrne and they had one child named Mary, my mother. Thomas had ill health due to gassing and died aged 38. His wife remarried, his child grew up knowing very little about her father. It is so sad. She is almost 80 and still wondering. No photos, no medals, nothing. I am trying to find out some information for her.
