Pte. James McCue
British Army 5th (Extra Reserve) Btn Royal Dublin Fusiliers
from:Lochore, Fife, Scotland
(d.11th May 1915)
In honour of my great uncle James McCue who died in Sittingbourne, Kent in May 1915.
His record indicates that he enlisted in Cowdebeath, Fifeshire in Scotland in 1914 and that he joined the 5th Battalion, Royal Dublin Fusiliers which was sent to Sittingbourne in Kent as a reserve battalion in Oct 1914.
The battalion did not move from Sittingbourne until long after Uncle Jimmy had died. I don't know under what circumstances he suffered from heart failure while still at the training depot.
