Pte. George Madden
British Army 10th Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:Pottagh, Articlave, Co.Derry
(d.10th Aug 1917)
George Madden, a Protestant, had signed the Ulster Covenant in September 1912, along with other members of his family. Five years later, George would pay the ultimate price for his loyalty and patriotism. He most probably was killed in the futile carnage of Third Ypres, aka Passchendaele. George is commemorated at St John's Parish church, Castlerock and at the Menin Gate War Memorial. George left behind a widow Martha, and four young children Bobby, Annie, Andrew, and George.
