221797 Pte. Patrick Cosgrove British Army 8th Btn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers from:Naas (d.25th Sep 1917) Patrick Cosgrove was my wife's granduncle. His birth was registered in Naas for the first quarter of 1896 - so he was 21 at the date of his death. I have just discovered that he is interred in the Cojeul British Cemetery, St. Martin-sur-Cojeul, which is located near Arras in France. I am aware that his Battalion was part of the 48th. Brigade of the 16th. Division that saw service in France & Flanders. This would have included the Battle of Langemark in August 1917. I am trying to establish what action he was involved in at the date of his death, that resulted in his interment at Cojeul, since this seems to have been at some distance from the Langemark engagement in August.
