Pte. Daniel Patrick Nevin

British Army 1st Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers

from:Ballymoney, Co. Antrim

(d.22nd Mar 1918)

Daniel Nevin enlisted at the outbreak of war, giving a false age as he was only fifteen. He was wounded at the Somme on 1st July 1916. In March 1918 he was reported missing, believed killed, when his platoon’s position at the village of Hamel was obliterated during a pre-assault bombardment and subsequently overwhelmed. Daniel's father served in the same unit throughout the war, was not with the battalion during the fateful attack as he was suffering from the results of gas and shell shock. He was discharged that November, and returned alone to Ballymoney and his family.
