Pte. Thomas Joseph Harney MM.
British Army 1st Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Dublin
(d.25th September 1916)
Thomas Harney was my granduncle. I know very little about him except that he was awarded the Military Medal but was killed before he received it.
He served with the 1st Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment in WW1 and died 25th of September 1916 aged 22 years. I can't find him listed on any memorial apart from Thiepval Memorial in France. Son of Patrick and Mary Harney of 15 St. Thomas's Rd., Fairbrother's Estate, South Circular Rd., Dublin.
His brother also served during the war and survived but suffered the effects of gas.
