Uploader's Notes:

Date of Birth declared on Attestation papers was November 8, 1869 but birth record confirms the correct Date of Birth was November 8, 1850. Conflicting dates of birth and age. He was actually born in 1850 and gave incorrect date on his Attestation papers. He died as a result of service and is named on the Grand Forks BC Cenotaph, however, there is no record with either the CWGC or the Books of Remembrance. Pte. Harrigan served in the Fenian Raids of 1866 and 1870 with the 50th Huntingdon Borderers !! gar
