Sgt. John "Mad Jack" Sergeant
British Army Royal Irish Fusiliers
from:Portadown
John Sergeant was my Great Grandfather. He was part of Carson's Ulster Volunteers and went to France with the Royal Irish Fusiliers as part of the 36th Ulster Division. He was transferred at some period to the Labour Corps but we don't know why.
We do believe he suffered from gas inhalation which apparently took his life in his early 50s from lung problems.
