Pte. Joseph Donley
2nd Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Glasgow
(d.15th November 1916)
My grandad - Joseph Donley, served with the Highland Light Infantry, 2nd battalion. It is sad that my father did not have his father in his life, and I also regret not knowing him. His son, my father, was only three years old when grandad was killed in action on the Somme in the Great War on 15th November 1916. His beloved horse was also taken taken for use in the war. His other children Annie Hastings Donley was two years old and a baby, Elizabeth, was just three weeks old when he was killed. I wish I had a photo of my grandad. R.I.P my grandad. I honour you.
