Pte. Michael Mulgrave
British Army 1st Battalion East Lancashire Regiment
(d.10 May 1915)
I have recently discovered Private Michael Mulgrave through investigating my ancestors. He was my grandmother's brother and, therefore, my great uncle. From the information I have been able to find he was already in the Army on the 1911 census aged 24 years. He was killed in action in 1915 in Flanders.
I have also seen a picture of his name engraved on the Menin Gate, Ypres. I feel very privileged and happy to have found him especially as I have no other living relatives I can talk to about him which is also quite sad too.
I am going to continue to try to find out more about him and his life. It all feels like I already know him in some strange way. I can't explain it in words. Anyway I feel like there is someone left to remember him and the ultimate sacrifice he made.
