258352 Sgt. James Ruddock British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Rifles from:Belfast (d.12th October 1914) Sgt James Ruddock of the Royal Irish Rifles was my grandfather and he was killed in action at La Couture in France on 12th of October 1914 just 21 days after his youngest son (my father) was born. He also had 2 older children, my grandmother was left a widow with 3 small children. Legend within the family has always been that my grandmother was the first Northern Ireland war widow of the First World War. We have no idea whether this is true or not but whatever the truth we will always try and ensure that his name is never forgotten.
