Pte. Daniel Mulloy
British Army 11th Btn. Royal Scots Fusiliers
from:Troqueer, Kirkcudbrightshire
(d.17th Aug 1916)
Daniel Mulloy was my great uncle. He saw action in the Boer War and also in the First World War. In September 1915, during the Battle of Loos, he sustained a severe head wound and survived, though incapacitated.
He was sent home to his local hospital, Kirkcudbright Cottage Hospital, where, after many months recuperation, he was deemed fit to be sent home, but not fit to return to active service and was discharged.
Soon thereafter he suffered a major epileptic seizure whilst out in the street, he was readmitted to the Cottage Hospital but did not regain consciousness and died later that day. This was reported in the local newspaper, which referred to him as a "Poor Old Soldier." He was 37 years old when he died.
