Pte. John Breen

British Army 1st Btn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers

from:Craanford, Gorey, Co Wexford

(d.3rd Mar 1917)

My granduncle, John Breen, as far as I know he joined up at age 15 in 1905/6. with the 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Regiment. He served until Oct or Nov 1916 when he joined or was posted to 1st Battalion Royal Dublin Fuseliers. He was wounded in action at Sailly Saillsel, France (near Amiens) on the 28th or 29th of Feb 1917. He was transferred to dressing station at Meaulte, France where he died on the 3rd March 1917. He is buried in Grove Town Cemetery, Meaulte, France.

Has anyone any info on this battle or any ancestors who were treated at the dressing station at Meaulte or buried in the nearby cemetery?
