258241 Cpl. Patrick McGovern British Army Royal Irish Fusiliers from:Bray, Co. Wicklow My uncle, Pat McGovern, joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers, the same regiment his father, Thomas McGovern, was in during WW1. He saw action in the Atlantic, Malta, Italy, and Monte Cassino. He was captured at Leron. I understand from my cousin, that he was captured as a POW on the Greek island of Leros before being transported to Berlin via Athens. He then served the remainder of the war in Stalag IIIA, Luckenwalde. I personally recall seeing his German Arbeidspasse, so I assume like many others he was sent out to labour locally. We have photos of his medals which include an award for gallantry. I am still researching the detail of his medals.
