Pte. Edward Joseph O'Brien

British Army 4th Btn Welsh Regiment

(d.8th Nov 1944)

My uncle Edward O'Brien or Eddie as he was known to my grandmother, was serving in Holland with the 4th Battalion Welsh Regiment, when he was killed on 8th November 1944. He was just 18 years of age. He was the son of her older brother, John O'Brien, and his wife Margaret. My gran said the loss of Eddie broke both of their hearts, and they never recovered from his loss. Eddie has no known grave, and his name is remembered on the walls of the Groesbeek Memorial.

Tragically my uncle John's older brother Dennis had been killed on the western front in WW1, whilst serving with the 2nd Battalion Welsh Regiment. He was also only 18 years of age,and was killed in action on 22nd December 1914.
