Michael Moughan in Army uniformStudio portrait of Michael in uniform with his sister Ellen and his father, John. The cap badge is of the Yorkshire Regiment or 'Green Howards'. The uniform gives clues that I'm not sure how to interpret. The pockets on the front may indicate certain dates and I think the strips on the sleeve indicate that he had been wounded.

Michael Moughan British War Medal & Victory MedalMichael Moughan WW1 British War Medal & Victory Medal. The medals are in good condition but the ribbons are somewhat worn. The medals are inscribed Moucham but the correct spelling is Moughan.Contributed by:

Inscription on Victory MedalMichael Moughan Victory Medal inscribed as follows: 25485 PTE M MOUCHAM YORK. R This matches with information on here provided by the IWM The name should be spelt Moughan.Contributed by:

Michael Moughan Baptism CertificateInscribed in Latin as it came from Roman Catholic registers. It says he was born 18th April 1898 and was baptised on 31st May 1898 at St.Marys Halifax. The certificate was issued in 1940 and I wondered why. Perhaps it was to prove his age so that he didn’t get called up for WW2 as the conscription age initially was 18-41.Contributed by:

Michael Moughan Death Reg. He died 28.1.1947Certified Copy of an Entry of Death. It shows that he died aged 48 years. When this was transcribed for entry in officials registers it was put down as 78 years and that it is what appears in the GRO indexContributed by:
