Private Harry Patrick aged 39

Harry Patrick, the youngest of seven children was christened at Saint Mary’s as Henry Patrick on 21st February 1883.
The christening was a job lot alongside his brother Herbert and sister Emma Jane, Harry was born on 22nd October of the previous year.
His parents were John and Hannah Patrick. John and also John’s father Samuel were joiners and cabinet makers and the Patrick family is living at Pepperhill in the first national census in 1841.
In 1911, the family is living at Box House and Harry is listed as single, occupation Mason and Stone Heaver. His father John died in 1919 aged 74 and his mother in 1923 aged 80.

Harry joined up on 24 June 1916 at the age of 34 and was sent to France in November as a member of the 37th Royal Garrison Artillery. His war records show that he was discharged after 6 months in France, his medical records say he had hemiplegia paralysis (a paralysis down one side of his body). The records also state that “the injury was not caused by service nor aggregated by service” so we can conclude that he had suffered from a stroke.

He returned to the area and was living at 123 Parkinson Lane in Halifax, a property that his brother Wallace had moved to after in 1911.

On 23 February 1922 he suffered a fatal brain Haemorrhage. He is not registered on the Commonwealth War Grave Commission.
