Pte. J. Sheehy
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Munster Fusiliers
from:Cork City
(d.10th Nov 1914)
J Sheehy was one of my paternal uncles. I have been led to believe he ran away from home to join the Army and he was underage at the time. The official records state that he was just 17 when he was killed near Ypres on 10 November 1914. He is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial.
His parents were Michael and Mary Sheehy of 2, Upper Quarry Lane, Blackpool, Cork.
