Rflman. Joseph Eakins
British Army 7th Btn. Royal Irish Rifles
from:Belfast
(d.6th Sept 1916)
Joseph Eakins was born 30th August 1872 in Kingstown, Dublin. This would make him 45 and relatively old considering the age of his comrades.
He had one brother, my Great Gandfather.
At some point he moved to Belfast where I believe he married and had a family. He died on 6th September 1916 and is commemorated at the Thiepval Memorial, France.
