Rflmn. Robert Birnie
British Army 12th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles
from:3 Broom St, Belfast
(d.1st July 1916)
Robert Birnie was my Great Grandfather. He was 33 years of age and a Lewis Gunner, all we know is that he was B Coy and was killed on the first day of the Somme. His wife was still looking for information about him a year later as he has no known grave.
