Pte. Michael Smith
British Army 7th Btn. Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:Kenagh, Co.Longford
(d.9th Sep 1916)
My father always told me when I was growing up that his uncle's Andrew and Michael went to war and never returned. They knew they died but didn't know when and where. I found out that Michael entered the war with the Connaught Rangers and died in France at the battle of Ginchy.
As for Andrew I cannot find anything for him. We assume that the two of them served together with the Rangers and then with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. Andrew was the son of Andrew and Agnes Smyth and his D.O.B 26th Jan 1880, address: Kenagh Co.Longford.
