Pte. Patrick Smith
British Army 7/8th Btn. Royal Irish Fusiliers
from:Cavan, Ireland
Patrick Smith served with the 7/8th Battalion, Royal Irish Fusiliers. I have a receipt acknowledging him as having been received on 19th of August 1917 by Queen Mary's Military Hospital. His unit fought in 3rd Ypres and suffered 224 casualties on 16th of August 1917, and I presume he was wounded in that action. The cause and extent of his injuries are unknown, but he did recover and was transferred approximately 9 months later to the 200th Company, Royal Defence Corps, where he served out the rest of the war.
