Appeals for family

Can you help us find surviving family of 305343 Pte James McCafferty, who was killed in action on 11 October 1918 whilst serving with 5th Battalion, Tank Corps?

Pte McCafferty had previously served with the 5th Royal Dublin Fusiliers (service number 30370).

He was born in about 1889 in Tullish Down, Ireland, to Hugh and Annie McCafferty. He married Elizabeth Downie in Glasgow on 14 July 1911.

Any help would be much appreciated; please email us at DBS-MODWarDetectives@mod.gov.uk.

Forthcoming funeral or rededication services with full military honours.

Services have finished for 2022 and are due to recommence in March 2023.
