Rfn. William Henry Hughes

British Army 11th (South Antrim) Btn. B Coy. Royal Irish Rifles

from:Lisburn

(d.27th Oct 1918)

My Uncle William Hughes was born in Lisburn in 1896 joined 11th Btn Royal Irish Rifles serving in B Company. He was a Lewis Gunner. The family all died not knowing his date of death, thinking he was just missing.

He had actually transferred at some time to the 12th (Central Antrim) Btn, Royal Irish Rifles. It was not until 2003 I found him in my internet searches. The family all died expecting him to come home, sad that after all this time, he was buried in France.
