219385 Rfmn. Ernest Samuel "Sa" Hadden British Army 10th Btn. Royal Irish Rifles from:8 Magdala St Belfast (d.3rd Jul 1916) Ernest Samuel Haddon was my great uncle and my grandfather's younger brother. He was a signatory to the Ulster Covenant (as was my grandfather) He served with the Royal Irish Rifles 10th Battalion. He was wounded in action on day one of the Somme and died two days later on 3rd July 1916 in a field hospital. My father remembers as a young boy visiting his granny Graham who had a trunk with Sammy's effects in them. He distinctly remembers seeing a cigarette case with dents in (bullet hits?). Unfortunately he has no idea what happened to it when she died. My uncle did have a photograph, but annoyingly he has lost it.
