AN Irish historian is looking for information about Private Henry Convey, a First World War soldier who captured a German flag and presented it to Huddersfield Town Hall.

Convey came from Ballina in County Mayo and, it is believed, never went back to Ireland but probably stayed in Huddersfield for the rest of his life.

P J Clarke of Church Road, Ballina, County Mayo, whose e-mail address is , is the chap doing the research.

His sister, Mrs P Protasiuk, has lived in Fartown for many years, he says. Any help would be appreciated.
