On this day I remember my great grand uncle, Owen Clerkin.
At aged 26, slightly younger than myself, he was killed in action on September 15, 1916, at Delville Wood, France, in the middle of the Somme campaign. He served in the 1st Battalion of the Irish Guards.
He is buried here, a place I visited 8 years ago.
