My father, Patrick McGinn, joined the Connaught Rangers (No. 10044) on 12 October, 1910. He was sent to India, although I'm not sure when, and was brought back to Marseilles in September 1914. He was wounded (possibly gassed?), though we don't know where or when. He was convalescent in Kinsale in 1917 and demobbed on 16 December 1919. || 1 discharge certificate photographs || || Photograph || Photograph of Patrick McGinn (1) || Patrick McGinn || || Photograph of Patrick McGinn (2) || Patrick McGinn || Photograph || || Photograph of Patrick McGinn (3) || Photograph || Patrick McGinn || || Photograph || Photograph of Patrick McGinn (4) || Patrick McGinn || || Photograph || Photograph of Patrick McGinn (5) || Patrick McGinn
