Pte. Joseph Skillen
British Army 7th/8th Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:Belfast
Joseph Skillen is listed as receiving the Victory Medal, British War Medal, the Star was only issued to men who arrived in a Theatre of War in either 1914 or 1915, so I assume that he arrived in Theatre of War in 1916 or later. Red Cross records confirm he was taken prisoner outside St Quentin in Ronssoy on the 21st of March 1918 during German Operation Michael, Western Front Offensive 1918. He was held prisoner in Cassel.
