Bernard McQuillan was the son of Peter and Kate McQuillan, of Leagh, Ballybay, Co. Monaghan, Ireland.

Family recount, the family in Ireland had already lost one son in the war and this younger brother was sent to New Zealand, mainly to get him out of harm's way. Sadly Bernard was called up in New Zealand and very shortly afterwards killed in Belgium.
