Rfmn. Charles Joseph Sixt

British Army 15th Btn. Royal Irish Rifles

from:Bushey, Hertfordshire

(d.9th Aug 1917)

Charles Joseph Sixt was the oldest son of a German immigrant of the same name and his English wife, Hannah. He was born in St Pancras but his father (and initially his mother) worked in Ireland (in Dublin and Bundoran) for some years which may be why he joined an Irish unit, the Royal Irish Rifles. I find it very touching that the father was interned, as an enemy alien, while the son fought and ultimately died for Britain on 9th August 1917.
