218046 Pte. Michael Cavanagh British Army 2nd Btn. Leinster Regiment from:Chorley, Lancs (d.9th June 1917) Michael Cavanagh is my Great Uncle. He enlisted when he was 16. It is told he ran away from home and joined a Welsh Regiment. His mother went after him and brought him home. He ran off again to re-enlist. He served with the Leinster Regiment 2nd Battalion and died at Messines on 9th June 1917 aged 19. His commemorative plaque and some ephemera are preserved in the Memorial Room (Chorley Pals) at Astley Hall Chorley Lancashire. I intend to travel from Adelaide South Australia so that I may be in Ypres on the 9th of June 2014.
