William Price (1895-1983) came home to Ireland from the war. He was in the No. 2 Depot, RGA, and was transferred to Class “Z” reserve. His rank was Gunner. He voluntarily enlisted on 8/11/1915 and served for the duration of the war (served for 3 years and 10 months). William Price, Gunnery Officer, was stationed at Marne, outside Paris. He may have served with William (Willie) Redmond as there was a connection to the Redmond family. The two brothers (Willie and Fred (1897-1956)) and another brother James (1899-1999) all came home after the war. Fred was very shell-shocked, and would wake at night screaming. Both William and Fred served in France. James, the youngest, was in England and may not have seen action on the front. William and Fred served with the Dublin Fusiliers. William enlisted in November 1915 and served for the duration of the war.
