Tom Byrne's British War Medal |
Description |
English: My uncle Thomas Byrne, the son of John Byrne and Sarah Lacy of John Street, Wexford, Ireland, was born on 5 November 1894. When he was sixteen he was a moulder at a local foundry. After a lockout of the workers at the foundry, he enlisted in the 6th Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment, service number 1900. He was sent to Fermoy, Co. Cork until September 1915. From there he moved to Aldershot in Hampshire and eventually he was deployed to France. On 23 July 1917, he moved up to the front and on to Brandhoek in Belgium on 30 July 1917. From there he moved into an area known as ‘Square Farm’. He was killed in action on 5 August 1917. He has no known grave but his name is commemorated in the Menin Gate in Ypres [Ieper], Belgium. We have his Death Plaque still in its box, and two of his medals, the 1914-15 Star and the British War Medal. |
