Pte. Daniel McConnell
British Army 12th Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Coatbridge, Lanarkshire
Daniel McConnell enlisted in the 12th Battalion, Highland Light Infantry at Hamilton on the 2nd of September 1914. He landed at Boulogne after training on 10th of July 1915. Unfortunately, on 28th of July 1915, only 18 days later Daniel lost a leg and his war was over. He was 21 years of age. Unfortunately, Daniel like so many of his brothers in arms, found it challenging to talk about the war and therefore no stories have been passed down through the generations to tell.
