Pte. Michael Ryan
British Army 5th Btn. Royal Irish Regiment
from:Kilfinnane, Co Limerick, Ireland
Michael Ryan was a master stonemason and was home from New York when he heard that the Lusitania has been sunk as he had travelled home on it the previous homeward bound journey so he joined the Royal Irish Regiment.
He suffered a very bad head injury and was in military hospitals in Scotland, Dublin and Cork but was unable to remain at home as he had very bad PTSD and unfortunately spent his remaining days in St Joseph's mental institution in Limerick City. Michael died in the 1950's and is buried in the Ryan family plot with his parents and my grandparents
