This man is a relative of mine. I have a photograph of him in his uniform before he headed for the war. His family originated from Mayo in Ireland. My Great Great Grandfather would have been his uncle. I think ? (John Keady, Toberjarlath, Tuam, 1901 census), I have yet to get all the connections right, but will in time. Please contact me if you have any connection with John. Regards Ian Pierce, Galway
