from:Tonaghmore, Banbridge
(d.22nd July 1915)
This is a photo of my great-grandad, Sgt R J McCleary, Service No 4775 of the 1st Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles. He was the son of Robert McCleary of Tonaghmore,Banbridge and husband of Amy McCleary, of Saul St., Down Patrick, County Down. He died on Thursday 22nd July 1915 at the age of 27, and is buried at Merville Communal Cemetry, Nord, France.
I am visiting his grave in August as my Nana (who sadly has died) always wanted to visit her father's grave but never got the chance.
