L/Cpl. Terence McSherry
British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers
from:Leith, Edinburgh
(d.30th July 1916)
L/Cpl Terence McSherry was my great uncle. My father was named after him although he never met him. Terence died during the attack on Guillemont on 30th July 1916 when the 2nd Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers were all but obliterated.
I am still trying to find a photograph of him.
I will be visiting Theipval & Guillemont in July 2016 to mark the 100th anniversary of his death.
Terence's older brother James 7th (Leith) Battalion, The Royal Scots was killed in the Quintinshill Rail Disaster, near Gretna on 22nd May 1915 whilst enroute to fight in Gallipoli.
