ONE of OUR OWN: Trooper Michael “Mick” Byrne (1891-1915).

It is possible that his decision also rested upon escaping a harsh life under a strict Mick survived the appalling carnage of the father.

He was not so lucky the second time: he died of wounds two days Mick enlisted at Trafalgar three months later on the 30th August, aged 24, and was after the outbreak of war and embarked buried the same day. for the front on the HMAT Wiltshire in April 1915. In a moving letter to Pierce and Anastasia, an old friend of Mick’s from Yarragon, After a short stay Egypt, he reached the Corporal Albert C.

Despite mounted regiment, dug desperately into his father’s deep misgivings, Anastasia the coastal cliffs of Gallipoli. Within three applied for and received Mick’s posthumous war medals, which were: the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
