Biography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon

He is one of 16 Australian soldier casualties of the Great War who are honoured on the Mayo Great War Memorial in Mayo Peace Park, Garden of Remembrance, Lannagh Road, Castlebar, County Mayo.

Usually the name appears because the casualty was born in the area or his parents lived there but sometimes the association rests with the fact that the casualty was educated in the district.
