L/Cpl. Thomas Brennan

British Army 2nd Btn. Grenadier Guards

from:Corbally, Donamon, Roscommon, Ireland

(d.4th Nov 1914)

Thomas Brennan was my great uncle; my grandmother's brother. My mother said she had been told by her mother that he ran away with a friend (surname Comerford) to enlist, and that he lied about his age. However, I have discovered his birth records and found he was aged 24 when he died. I have found out that he enlisted in Manchester.

He died in Flanders on 4th of November 1914 and his name is on the Menin Gate. My mother told me that his friend returned to tell his mother of his death. I know nothing else about him unfortunately. I want to make sure that his name is on every record and that he is never forgotten.
