Dvr. William Tierney 182nd Brigade Royal Field Artillery

Will Tierney was a son with 10 brothers and sisters at the time, he enlisted with his dad and at least two other brothers in 1914.
During the war, while riding his horse, an enemy artillery shell landed right in front of him. Luckily, for him at least, the horse stood up on its hind legs and took all of the impact throwing Will to safety. The horse didn't survive.
