Fus. Richard Bush
British Army 1st Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers
from:West London
This is no great story of gallantry. Richard Bush was my mother's brother. I know he served on the Somme (1st battalion I would guess). There is a story in my family that he was under age so his mother got him pulled out of the line. I do not know if this is true or not. Anyway, he must have been a glutton for punishment he rejoined the army (I don't know the regiment) and fought in the Salonika Campaign.
