World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Charles Albert Moffatt
British Army 11th Btn. Worcestershire Regiment
from:Smethwick
Charles Moffatt was the only man left to go to war in our family, so although it meant leaving his wife to manage six children, he felt it was his duty to go. He worked mostly in the cookhouse for the regiment. It is rumoured he deceived them regarding his age and marital status, such was his determination to sign up. He was 38 in 1914. He didn't talk of the war when he came back but what he experienced clearly impacted on him because he told his children there could be no God. The war medal he was given was supposedly thrown by him into a river or canal.
George Galbraith Moffatt
United States Army New York City Irish Fusilers
from:New Jersey, US
My father, George Galbraith Moffatt the III, was named after his Uncle, George Galbraith Moffatt II. He died in France during WWI. What little I have from family history is, he came to visit family in the USA (he was from Ireland) and was recruited by the New York City Irish Fusiliers. He was 19 or 20 years of age when he was killed in action in France. He was never married nor had any children. His parents were Alfred Moffatt (from Ireland moved to New Jersey, USA) and his mother was Grace Lorana Howlett.

He was educated at Avoca School, Blackrock, afterwards entering Trinity College, Dublin, where he took his BA and BAI (Hon).

James Moffett

from:Belfast
James Moffett was my grandmother's brother and there is no one left alive to help me find out more about him. He was born around 1899/1900 and I believe he died in the 1920's, shot dead by the IRA. He was from Belfast and the only record I have of him is on a census form from 1901 when he was shown as 1 year old. I have one photograph showing him in Royal Navy Uniform and the name of the ship on his cap band is HMS Mantua. That is all I know of him.

Sgt Alfred Mole
British Army Royal Horse Artillery

My father, Alfred Moles at the age of 17, joined the RHA in 1914. He served throughout the War. His main complaint was that he loved horses but had to take the old and wounded horses to the Belgian "Knackers Yard". He did have campaign medals but they have been long lost and I believe that the relevant service records were destroyed by fire. He also served in the NFS during World War II
