Cpl. James Carrigan M.M.
British Army 10th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:Sunderland
(d.10th Oct 1917)
I would like any information on the 10th battallion of the DLI.My grandfather was killed in France in 1917. His name appears on a tablet at the tynecot memorial cemetery.I would dearly love to find out the circumstances in which he was awarded the military medal. His son, my father, died last year without knowing him.I would be grateful for information on any web sites specific to the 10th battalion and possible war diaries.I was told by the DLI museum locally that many records were destroyed in a fire so I am concerned that not much may exist
