Rflmn. George Beech McFarland
British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Rifles
from:Dunmurry
My granddad, George McFarland, arrived in France sometime after the 1st of January 1916 where he served with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles. His POW record states that he was captured at La Boisselle on the 9th July 1916 during the Battle of the Somme and taken to Dulmen POW Camp in Germany. Do not have a date for his repatriation.
When the war was over he served with 4th Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles.
