L/Cpl. Joseph Fogarty
British Army 2nd Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers

(d.8th May 1915)
Joseph Fogarty was my Great Uncle. He served as a motorcycle dispatch rider and was listed as missing presumed dead on the 8th of May 1915. The family history is that only his motorbike was found. The 84th Brigade HQ war diary for the 8th states that messages were sent by an officer on horseback and motorcyclist. For his actions Joseph was posthumously awarded the Imperial Russia Medal of St. George 3rd Class. He is commemorated on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial.
