Gnr David Barnhill. He was originally a member of 9th ( Londonderry ) HAA Regt and had a brother who was a regular Gunner, having joined in about 1930. The Barnhill brothers came from the Waterside area of the city and David’s wife was Ellen Margery. He is buried in Glendermott CoI graveyard; he died in the UK in March 1941. His brother, Joseph, survived the war but died in 1969 - details supplied by Richard Doherty

David is also listed on the memorial at St. Anne's Cathedral in Belfast, unfortunately there is an error in the inscription 'O' instead of  'D'  Barnhill
