244947 Gnr. Edward Hugh McNally 38th Brigade Royal Field Artillery  My Grandfather, Edward McNally, was born on 6th June 1879 in Poonamallee, Madras India (as were 4 brothers & a sister) to John & Louisa (Moran) McNally. His father was a 3rd Class Master Gunner, with G Battery, 6th Brigade RFA.
Edward enlisted on the 5th of Sept 1893 with 72nd Battery, 38th Brigade RFA in Kirkee India. At some point he went to Ireland and in 1907 married Ellen Mary Cuddihy. Went back in 1907 and was stationed in Cork, Waterford & Belfast. According to a letter by my great Aunt he got "Sick & Tired" of the "Black & Tans" and so he got stationed back in Waterford RFA. Then to France in 1914, he received the 1914 Star with Clasp. He transferred to 291st RFA, then was Gassed sometime in 1917, I believe it was Aug-Oct timeline and discharged 7th of June 1918, with Silver War badge #411157. He died 3rd of July 1925 in Waterford Hospital Ireland.
All I have of Edward McNally is a painting of him done in India abt 1896. When I checked with the Records Department they said his records were destroyed yet my Great Grand father's are completely furnished to me. The records I do have are the War Badge, Medal Index, Roll of Individuals, 1911 Census Waterford, Ireland & Birth, Death & Marriage Documents.
