    William's service record did not survive.

    William was a general laborer at the time of enlisting which is believed to be around the end of August 1914.

    He enlisted into the famous Royal Munster Fusiliers Regiment along with many of his friends from the Blackpool area of Cork City, his regiment number was 6056. He was first sent to Aldershot for Basic Training and on the 9th of October 1914 the 4th battalion RMF embarked at Southampton and after the short journey across the English Channel he along with his regiment landed at Le Havre.

    Their first big action was at Festubert in December 1914 and in the 4 years that followed the Royal Munster Fusiliers fought in many famous battles and while victorious in most they paid a heavy price with the loss of many men.

    Sometime in early 1915, William was transferred to the 2nd Bt RMF, Machine Gun Detachment and fought at the battle of Aubers Ridge on the 9th May and at the battle of Loos in September- October 1915.

    At 8pm on the morning of the 14th October 1915 the battalion were being transported to the line when it was hit by shell fire, William was seriously injured and died a short time later at the field hospital.

    Only one other soldier of the RMF was killed in that attack, he was Sergeant Michael O'Sullivan Regiment Number 6097 of Rope Walk, Wises Hill, Cork City, both he and William had enlisted together.

    William is buried in the Noeux-les-Mines Communal Cemetery, grave number I.E. 22, but unfortunately Michael's body could not be recovered and his death is commemorated on the Loos Memorial; Panel 127.

    On the 15th of October the day after William's death, his Chaplin Rev Whitfield wrote to Christine informing her of William's death and on the 28th of October the Army officially notified Christine of Williams Death, both of which appear here. Sean Healy, Grandson, 9 Jan 2011.

    Record Details for W Healy (Royal Munster Fusiliers)

    First Name: W
    Surname: Healy
    Nationality: British
    Date of Death: 14/10/1915
    Information: Husband of Mrs. C. Healy, of 2, Patricks Arch, Cork.
    Rank: Private
    Service Number: 6056
    Service: British Army
    Regiment: Royal Munster Fusiliers
    Battalion: 4th Battalion (Why is this important?)

    The Regiment can trace its history back to 1652 when it was first formed as part of a private army for the East India Company. This British Company was formed in December 1600 in an effort to break the Dutch spice trade monopoly. The Company quickly realized that it needed to secure and protect its trading posts at Surat, Madras, Bombay and Calcutta. Therefore within two centuries The Company had bought land from the Indian rulers, built settlements, raised its own army and navy, built its own ships and effectively ruled India, thus raising the curtain for Britain's Indian Empire. The Regiment was initially involved in guarding factories along the Hugli River in Bengal. The Regiments Officers were recruited and trained in Britain and commanded a mainly native force.

    The ruling Mughal Empire in India was near collapse by the mid-18th century and The East India Company found itself fighting for supremacy against the French and becoming increasingly involved in local power politics. In December 1756 separate companies and detachments were amalgamated into one battalion; The Bengal European Battalion and was involved in the Battle of Plassey, and also helped to defend Fort William against Prince Suraja Dowlah, where many of the officers and men perished in the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta. In 1758 the Regiment also fought against the French at the Battle of Condore and then in 1759 against the Dutch.

    Once The Company had consolidated its position, it focused on the collecting territorial taxes in northeast India and confirmed British military supremacy in the region making The Company the ruling power in Bengal, India's richest province. The British government was happy to let the Company rule as long as wealth continued to flow back to London.

    The Bengal European Battalion was renamed The Bengal European Light Infantry in 1838 after its distinguished gallantry in the storming of Ghuznee in the first Afghan War. In 1839 a 2nd Battalion was formed as the 2nd Bengal European Regiment. The title Fusiliers was added to the 1st Battalion in 1846 for its gallant conduct in the Sutlej Campaign. The 2nd Battalion also became a Fusilier Corps after the second Sikh War and the Regimental facings were changed from white to dark blue.

    However, the Indian population became increasingly discontented with The Company's interference in local affairs and politics, which eventually lead to the first Indian Rebellion in 1857. The Regiment was involved in various battles and the eventual suppression of the Rebellion. However this spelt the end of The Company's rule in India as the British government felt it had mismanaged the situation. The Company was formally dissolved in Aug 1858 and the Crown took over control of the administration and its armies in India. The two battalions were incorporated into the British Army as the 101st Royal Bengal Fusiliers and 104th Bengal Fusiliers. In 1861 the battalions became the 101st Regiment of Foot (Royal Bengal Fusiliers) and 104th Regiment of Foot (Bengal Fusiliers).

    In 1881 the Childers Reforms restructured the British army infantry Regiments into a network of multi-battalion Regiments each having two regular and two militia battalions. The 101st Regiment of Foot (Royal Bengal Fusiliers) and 104th Regiment of Foot (Bengal Fusiliers) were amalgamated with the Militia of Munster and became The Royal Munster Fusiliers, one of only five of the infantry battalions given Irish titles. The Regiment was disbanded in June 1922 following cuts in the British army and the establishment of the new Irish Free State.

    Royal Munster Fusiliers during WW1
    Since 1815 the balance of power in Europe had been maintained by a series of treaties. In 1888 Wilhelm II was crowned 'German Emperor and King of Prussia' and moved from a policy of maintaining the status quo to a more aggressive position. He did not renew a treaty with Russia, aligned Germany with the declining Austro-Hungarian Empire and started to build a Navy rivalling that of Britain. These actions greatly concerned Germany's neighbours, who quickly forged new treaties and alliances in the event of war. On 28th June 1914 Franz Ferdinand the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was assassinated by the Bosnian-Serb nationalist group Young Bosnia who wanted pan-Serbian independence. Franz Joseph's the Austro-Hungarian Emperor (with the backing of Germany) responded aggressively, presenting Serbia with an intentionally unacceptable ultimatum, to provoke Serbia into war. Serbia agreed to 8 of the 10 terms and on the 28th July 1914 the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia, producing a cascade effect across Europe. Russia bound by treaty to Serbia declared war with Austro-Hungary, Germany declared war with Russia and France declared war with Germany. Germany's army crossed into neutral Belgium in order to reach Paris, forcing Britain to declare war with Germany (due to the Treaty of London (1839) whereby Britain agreed to defend Belgium in the event of invasion). By the 4th August 1914 Britain and much of Europe were pulled into a war which would last 1,566 days, cost 8,528,831 lives and 28,938,073 casualties or missing on both sides.

    The Regiment raised 10 Battalions and was awarded 51 Battle Honours and 3 Victoria Crosses during the course of the war. The Regiment was engaged in battle 13 times at full strength and reduced to less than 6 officers and 300 men 10 of those times. 3,070 men of the Regiment died during the 1,566 days of action.

    Collection: The IWGC/CWGC Registers Collection

    Campaign Medals:
    1914/15 Star

    With the information in W Healy's record, it is likely that they were awarded the 1914-15 star campaign medal of the British Empire for his service in World War One.

    This Star is identical to the 1914 Star in every respect except that the centre scroll bears the dates "1914- 15" and the two small scrolls bearing "Aug" and "Nov" are omitted.

    He would also have received the British War Medal and Victory Medal, as it was not awarded singularly. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. With Pip representing either this medal or the 1914 Star, only one of which could be awarded to a soldier, Squeak represented the British War Medal and Wilfred represented the Victory Medal.

    British War Medal

    With the information in W Healy's record, it is likely that they were entitled to the British War Medal for service in World War One. This British Empire campaign medal was issued for services between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918.

    The medal was automatically awarded in the event of death on active service before the completion of this period.

    Memorial Death Plaque Of WWI

    The next of kin for W Healy would have been sent this death plaque after the war to commemorate all of the war dead. Over 1 million were issued in total.

    Victory Medal

    With the information in W Healy's record, it is likely that they were entitled to the Victory medal, also called the Inter Allied Victory Medal. This medal was awarded to all who received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain exceptions, to those who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded alone. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.

    Eligibility for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August, 1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible.
