Michael McGeeney was severly wounded 3 times during the time he served in France. He was awarded the MM for galantry, apparently it would of been the Victoria Cross ... but he was Irish. He was given leave to return to Hartlepool, where they had a brass band waiting for him.
His nick name was Spud McGeeney and he was known as the Mushroom King, as he knew where to find them. He was also in the Royal Navy at some point on HMS Dido.
