John McCarthy
British Army Highland Light Infantry

My Granddad was John McCarthy, I have a copy of a letter to the War Pensioners' Welfare Services in Dublin, where he was living. It says that he served in the Highland Light Infantry and was discharged 21st March 1919. it seems he was in the Munster Fusiliers before the HLI. I know he received medals for Mons, Somme & Arras and was wounded twice.
