With cap badge. John Perry was born in Shankhill, Belfast, Antrim, in 1873. A Hammerman by trade, he attested on the 31st of August 1914 in Dumfries. He had previously served seven years with the Colours and five years with the reserves, enlisting on the 13th of December 1891.



There seems to be some confusion as to whether or not he was discharged in 1914 due to not being physically fit enough. However, the medals were issued, and a medal index card stating he landed in France with the 3rd Bn on the 27th of December 1914 exists. Other evidence suggests he was discharged in 1919.
