    “Holohan deserted the British Army in India, and escaped by a German cargo boat, arriving at Marseilles in 1914. He re-entered the British Army under the general amnesty given to deserters. He was wounded and taken prisoner in Oct 1914, and ended up in Limburg”

    Niall McAuley Coincidentally there's also a Patrick Holohan of the 1st Bn Royal Irish Regiment, who died exactly a year earlier. His name is on the Menin Gate Memorial at Ypres.
