(d.19th July 1918)
Alfred Dunn was born on 16th December 1899, became an apprentice brass finisher after leaving school and joined 18th Battalion DLI on 1st February 1918.
After training, he left for France in June 1918 and was killed on 19th July 1918. In a letter to his mother, Rebecca Dunn of Stephen Street, West Hartlepool, an officer wrote: "A machine gun was harassing the advance, and his officer and he charged it together, when he fell in the bravest way a man could to assist and save his comrades. It was impossible to recover his body in the face of the strong enemy opposition." The officer also remarks that he was a capable Lewis gunner.
He is remembered with honour at the Ploegsteert Memorial. My father was his nephew and named after him; I also have his name and my son too.
Pte. Andrew Dunn
British Army 11th Btn. Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:Castletown, Donegal
(d.1st July 1916)
Andrew Dunn was one of eight children (five girls, three boys) born in 1895 to Robert and Margaret Dunn (nee Buchanan). He signed up in St. Johnston in 1914, and was shipped to training and then to France where he fell on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1st of July 1916 at the age of 21. It is to be noted that his paperwork was not correctly recorded as they have dying at the age of 26. Andrew has no known grave and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial, and in his family's church, Ballylennon Presbyterian. Sadly, the family has no photos of Andrew.
Andrew's death devastated the family, and was a driving force in their decision to immigrate to Canada in 1926, in which through his death, they were entitled to the Soldiers Settlement Act which provided them with a parcel of land in Manitoba. Interestingly enough his older brother Robert, who had emigrated to Canada in 1912 joined up in 1914 as well with the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

Pte. William Dunn

from:Camberwell, London
William Dunn joined the territorials in June 1913. He went to France on 15th March 1915 (aged 29) and was wounded at Erquingham on 14th October 1918. He was demobilised in London on 1st March 1919. His service record indicates he was posted on the western front for the entire period and would, presumably, have been involved in the Battle of Messines as he was not absent from his unit at any time during June 1917. Unfortunately I cannot find any information about what happened to him after the end of the war or when he died.
Pte. William Dunn
British Army 1st Btn. Cheshire Regiment
from:Warrington Road, Northwich, Cheshire
Pte. William Dunn was my grandfather. He served with the Cheshire Regiment. I only know he wrote two letters home which were printed in the local paper. His records seemed to have been destroyed. He was at Louvain and named a daughter after the place. (Georgina Louvain.) We think he was a batman. He was in the 3rd London Hospital at Wandsworth in November 1914 and that is about it.

Pte. Joseph Dunne
British Army 8th Btn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers

(d.27/29th Apr 1916)
My Great Grandfather Joseph Dunne s/n 14020, 8th Battalon Royal Dublin Fusiliers part of the 16th division, enlisted in Dublin in the summer of 1915, they were sent to the Curragh army camp in kildare for training and in Sept 1915 they moved to Blackdown near Aldershot in Surrey England for trench training. They remained there till 18th of December when they were sent to France.
They were introduced to trench warfare trauma for the first few weeks of 1916, then they found themselves in the front line trenches in Hullach near Loos. There he stayed till his death 27th/29th April 1916 and this is stated on his death cert, the reason was because the Germans gased the trenches on the 27th and nobody returned till the 29th and this is why 27th/29th is stated on his cert. We found his name on the wall of the Loos Memorial 200, 2 panel 127 - 129. He is also mentioned on a plaque in Hueston Station Dublin and this states "In memory of the following members of staff of the Great Southern & Western Railway who laid down their lives for their country in the Great War 1914-1918."
Other than this I cannot find anything else about him no photos, notes or diary. I would love to find a photo of him.

Sgt. Michael Dunne
British Army 1st Btn. Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
(d.1st Jul 1916)
Michael Dunne was 1 of 4 boys in his family. His father was Patrick and his mother Anne. His younger brother Patrick also joined the army with him. Their other brother, John, also joined up. Sadly, Michael lost his life. His brother, Patrick, lost his life on the 17 of April 1916. John, was wounded and was sent home and was discharged. He tried to rejoin but was not allowed.
Michael was married to a woman by the name of Margaret. I do not know her surname. They had a child but when Margaret heard the news of Michael being killed she fled, to where no one knows. Family stories say she went to America with the child but no trace can I find. I've searched for a long time and as a last resort I'm trying to find Margaret's grandchildren, if any have.
I am the great grand nephew of Sargent Michael Dunne 1st Bat., Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, can anyone help me to find what happened to Michael's child?
