Uploader's Notes:

Son of John Harkins and Mary Harkins (later Daly)

Date of Birth declared on Attestation papers was February 27, 1886, which is probably a simple clerical error because the reverse side of the paper gives his apparent age as 18 years and 4 months. Birth and baptism records confirm the correct Date of Birth was February 20, 1898
