241866 Rfmn. John Alfred Callahan British Army 8th Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps from:Southend on Sea (d.16th Oct 1940) J. A. Callahan was my grandfather. I'm not sure when he signed up, but my dad told me he first signed on with the London Irish Rifles then was transferred to the King's Royal Rifle Corps. He had been a very good cinder track racer and had a bike and sidecar for the family and was always fixing bikes for resale. With this background, he was made a company messenger. The regiment was moving to Scotland for training when he was hit by a truck at night and killed due to blackout lighting.
