Additional Information

THE INFORMATION HERE IS FROM THE REVEREND LINDSAY'S 1919 BOOK. I CAN FIND NO OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING JOSEPH. I'VE ADDED 2 PHOTOS FROM THE 1919 BOOK. THE 1st ONE LISTS PRIVATE PATRICK SHARKIE (see previous soldier Private Patrick McGarry) AND PRIVATE JOSEPH SHARKIE. BOTH LISTED AS 1st BATTALION ROYAL IRISH FUSILIERS. THE 2nd ONE LISTS PRIVATE "PETER" MCGARRY CONNAUGHT RANGERS (should be Patrick). HE HAS THE SAME ADDRESS, SAME SERVICE NUMBER AND SIMILAR DATE OF DEATH AS THE PRIVATE PATRICK SHARKIE. THESE 2 MEN LIVED NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER.
