McGee,John_WW1Records_a John McGee - 2 pages from his WW1 record. The LH page was written up in 1920 after John had been killed in action. It lists his parents (father deceased) and siblings and signed by John's mother Mary McGee (née Boyle). On the reverse is a letter requesting details of the family for the provision of a plaque and a scroll for soldiers killed. The details had to be witnessed and signed by a J.P. thus Patrick Rice, a farmer in Shanroe, duly signed to vouch for Mary's details. Patrick Rice also had a grocery shop in Mullaghban. The RH page records: enlistment into the Cheshire Regt in Birkenhead 3.9.14; medals awarded (1914-15 Star and Victory Medal) and NOK names & address. © Ancestry.com.
