By the Commonwealth War Graves Commission on the Thiepval Memorial.
Lance Corporal Michael Higgins MM, RIP
7493 Second Battalion Irish Guards.
Enlisted Ennis, Co Clare
Killed on the Somme 15th September 1916
My Great great uncle.
His brother, Thomas, returned with a damaged foot.
His brother, Richard, my great grandfather returned with frostbite and shell shock.
It's good to think that one of the poppies at the Tower of London is for him, one of the 888 246, British and Commonwealth war dead from WWI.
