Henry J. Sweeney spent his brief life on Manchester’s West Side. Born and brought up on Douglas Street he was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Jeremiah Sweeney. While attending St. Raphael Church and School he was remembered as a very fun loving and popular young man.
The United States entered World War I in April of 1917 and less than one month later on May 1, 1917, young Sweeney voluntarily enlisted in Company B, the Old Sheridan Guard. He transferred from Concord to Westfield Mass after the old First New Hampshire Infantry had been partially absorbed by the I03rd Regiment, 26th Division.
