224351 Pte. William Devenny British Army 11th Btn. Royal Inniskilling Fusilers from:Carrigans, Co Donegal (d.16th Aug 1917) William Devenny was my great uncle who I knew very little about, but on the wall of the old family home was the `death penny and service certificate'. I asked my father and some of my uncles about William but they couldn't tell me very much. He joined up on 27th December 1915 and was reported missing on 16th August 1917. I found out that his name was on the memorial wall at Tyne Cot Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery. He died at the Battle of Langemark. I was lucky to visit Tyne Cot in 2012 and lay a cross at William's memorial.
