Joseph Clynch (name may appear as Clinch in places) was my (Brendan) great uncle. He was born on the 17th of January 1892. He was a Private in the 7th Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment 25140 / South Irish Horse Regiment, from Balbriggan, Ireland. The Dead Penny belonged to John Galvin. I think the he and Joseph met in Bedfordshire. They were both from Balbriggan and in different sections of the same regiment. The Dead Penny was given to the Clynch family, possibly because they were friends. We have a letter to Joseph's brother John in New York dated the 27th of June 1917. It was given to me by my aunt. A family member had traced over with a pen to highlight faded lines. Joseph's mother was pro-Republican. She worked for Smyth's and Company in Balbriggan, Ireland. She cursed the English manager for taking all Balbriggan sons to fight in an English war. Joseph was 25 when he died on the 12th of December 1917. He is buried in Villers-Faucon Communal, Picardie, France. || Letter from Private Joseph Clinch to his brother John in June 1917 ; Medals ; Dead Penny medal of John Galvin ; Printout of photo of John Galvin || || Front || Letter || Envelope of letter from Joseph Clynch || || Letter || Envelope of letter from Joseph Clynch || Back || || Letter || Letter from Joseph Clynch || || Letter from Joseph Clynch || Letter || || Letter from Joseph Clynch || Letter || || Letter || Letter from Joseph Clynch || || Remembrance || Dead Penny of John Galvin || John Galvin || Medal || || Photograph || John Galvin || Printout of photo of John Galvin || || Back || Medals || Medal || || Medal || Medals || Front
