236901 Pte. Thomas James Kernaghan British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers from:Annaloughin, Fivemiletown (d.4th Dec 1915) Thomas Kernaghan was my great uncle. He was 20 yrs old when he passed on. He was wounded in battle, but died of his wounds in a field hospital. He is buried in Rouen in France. This story was told to me by my brother. I can't imagine what this young man was thinking when he went to war at such a young age, but we are extremely grateful for his valour and sacrifice not only to his King, but his family and friends. So many who died are not remembered, so, it is up to us, future generations to remember all who sacrificed there lives so we can have peace in ours. Lest We Forget. Additional Information: Thomas was the eldest son of a farmer Thomas and his wife Sarah. By 1911 Sarah was a widow and Thomas had left home not yet 15. May have been working as a labourer but probably enlisted in the Inniskillings before the war began and would have been in France from August 1914.
