Pte. Arthur McGeary
British Army 8th Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment
(d.26th Sept 1915)
My great grandfather, Arthur McGeary, served with the 8th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment. He was killed in action on 26th of September 1915 at Loos. He was 50 years old and is remembered on the Loos Memorial. From what I gather he was awarded the Victory British Star Medal.
Arthur worked at the Shipyard of Swan Hunter in Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne, his name is also on their War Memorial. My dad was named after his grandfather.
