Pte. John "Jack" McKenney
British Army Lancashire Fusiliers
from:Salford, Lancashire
My grandfather John McKenney was serving in Gallipoli with the Lancashire Fusiliers when he was shot in the arm while carrying a wounded soldier on a stretcher. The bullet hit the bone and entered the buttocks of the man on the stretcher.
His brother served with the Black Watch and lost an arm at the Somme. Both survived the war
