Hi,
I have looked up Joseph Kirk in the war registers and found that he did not die during the war.
The info I did find was that he was a signaller with the Lincolnshire regiment & Leinster regiment.
Hope this helps a little.
Regards,
Annmarie

Hi
Joseph died after the war. Even Mum did not know what he did in the Lincs regiment.
Thanks for your help
