He served for eight years and was captured by the Germans and became a prisoner of war. He had a bad time in prison camp and survived to return home. He was always bringing soldiers back to the house after a few drinks for bacon and eggs. My Mum's family had a small holding in those days back in Ireland. My mum said the years of being a prisoner had taken their toll and he could be seen on some evenings trying to chew glass after a few drinks. He sadly died after the war, TB adding to his medical problems. Add to this record.
