Rfmn. Matthew McKay
British Army 12th Btn Royal Irish Rifles
from:Bushmills, Co. Antrim
(d.1st Jul 1916)
Matthew McKay was my mother's uncle. I believe he was born in Dunluce, Co. Antrim and lived on Ballyclough Road, which is where my grandma, who was Matthew's sister also my great grandma and my mother along with 6 other siblings lived. I am so proud of my great uncle Matthew. He gave his life for his country, what more could a brave and courageous 21 year old do. God Bless him. His name is on the memorial at Thiepval in France.
