Pte. John McGonigal
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:Bootle, Liverpool
(d.3rd Oct 1918)
John McGonigal was my Great Grandfather's eldest brother. He was born in Liverpool in 1889 and died in October 1918 as a POW in Szczypiorno Prisoners of War Cemetery. He has a headstone in Poznan Old Garrison Cemetery (Poland) and his name is also commemorated on the Bootle Civic Monument and Our Lady of Immaculate Conception RC Church in Everton.
Prior to WW1 John worked on Liverpool docks as a labourer together with his father (also John). He was married to Alice at the time of his death and lived at 4, Daley Place, Orrell, Bootle. I would be interested to hear from anyone who had relations at Szczypiorno Prisoners of War Cemetery during WW1.
