Pte. Thomas Penston
Britsh Army 2nd Btn. Royal Irish Rifles
from:Dublin
My Great Grandfather, Thomas Penston, served in the 2nd Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles and later in the Royal Irish Regt. He arrived in France in August 1914, he was discharged due to wounds under Kings Regs 392 in 1916 and received a Silver War Badge upon discharge. I have his medal card, discharge papers and medal/SWB roll entries but do not have any photographs, if anyone has photos of 2nd Bn R.I.R circa 1914 I would be extremely grateful if you could contact me.
