Postcards from Bernard (Barney) Dargan to his family from France | 1915

These postcards were sent by my granduncle, Barney (Bernard) Dargan to his wife from France in 1915. Barney was born c. 1884 in Dublin's inner city (his own family home after he married was 13 Belview Buildings). We're not sure when he enlisted, and he may have worked in Guinness before the war. He was in Burma and India, possibly before the war. I think that he had the rank of Sergeant. All of these postcards are from France, and all are to his wife, Margaret. I think that he carried a leg injury after the war, and he died in 1980.
