Pte. John McCann
British Army 2nd Btn. Irish Guards
from:Ballydrehid, Co. Sligo
(d.29th March 1918)
My great uncle John McCann was born and raised in Ballydrehid, Co. Sligo.
The story goes that he was only sixteen when he left to enlist in the British Army. He was a soldier in the 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards Regiment. He died on 29th March 1918. He is buried in Etaples. So far I have been unable to discover any more details or any photos.
