Additional: Michael is in the photo with his Michael and his brother Thomas who is my great-grandfather. He is in the back row with the marking over his head. Unfortunately I do not know which gentleman is Private Michael O Toole. It was taken in The Turrets which is here Michael and his family lived at the time of the war.
