my first posting,

i'm trying to trace another north irish horse member from the 1st war.

his name was Philip James Balmer he was my great grandfather and he died when i was 9. i only wish that i was old enough to understand what he was saying to me as it was only in his later years that he began to talk about the war.

i believe he joined in 1915 from belfast or bangor.

any help would be most helpfull, thanking you in advance
