Rfmn. David McClelland

British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Irish Rifles

(d.17th Oct 1914)

David was my grandfather Robert McClelland's brother. He was born in Belfast on 5th May 1885 to John and Sarah. He served with the Royal Irish Rifles and is registered in the 1901 Census as in 1st Battalion Royal Irish Rifles so must have switched to 2nd Battalion before embarking for France in August 1914. He died of wounds on 17th October 1914 and is buried in Bethune Town cemetery. Other than this I know nothing about him. His service record is not available.
