Pte/ George Munn
British Army 15th (North Belfast) Btn. Royal Irish Rifles
from:Belfast
Born on 28th Jan 1895 I know that my grandfather, George Munn joined the 15th Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles as a private. He must have been transferred to the Labour Corps at some time because according to his Unit Register Card he served 4 years 5 months, 2 years 1 month in the field as a private in the Labour Corps (POW) Unit, 376 Prisoner of War Company.
I remember him well, and I remember him telling me that he was wounded on a couple of occasions (shot through & through, and shrapnel wounds), and I remember he once showed me the scars of his wounds, and his hands and arms covered with the black spots of shrapnel.
