Joseph Roberts of Wexford | Ireland

Story: Joseph Roberts was born in 1894, the son of Robert and Margaret Roberts, South Main Street, Wexford, Ireland. He married Annie Walsh in 1915 and they had one daughter, Margaret (contributor Anne Kirwan’s mother). They lived at 9 Bride Place in Wexford town. He joined the army at age 22, signing up to the South Lancashire Regiment in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, service number 31442. Joseph is mentioned on the family gravestone in St Ibar’s Cemetery, Crosstown, Wexford as having been killed in France. His body was not recovered but Anne Kirwan discovered his name on the Ploegsteert Memorial in Belgium. However on visiting the area she found that Joseph had been killed in action on Ravensberg Hill near Bailleul, near the French-Belgian border, on 14 April 1918. Joseph’s war record was never mentioned in the family, perhaps because in Ireland during and after the War of Independence, there was a sense of unease about family members who had served in the British Army. || Photograph of Joseph Roberts in uniform; Death Plaque || || Photograph || Joseph Roberts in uniform || Joseph Roberts || Joseph Roberts in the uniform of the South Lancashire Regiment. || || Death Plaque, Joseph Roberts || Joseph Roberts || Medal
