Pte. Christopher Walsh
British Army 18th Royal Garrison Artillery
from:22 St John St., Dublin, Ireland
My grandfather, Christopher and his brother Martin Walsh, signed up for service in Dublin, Ireland. Both boys grew up without a father, who went to America, and my great grandmother, Mary Walsh put them in a boys' home. Christopher received a wound in the left arm and my mother recalls the little bullet hole there. My mother said that her father rarely talked about the war but tried to enlist again in the Pioneer Corps in 1941.
