Old Wooden Chest - RIC / IRA??

[Sinann]

5 minutes past curfew is a reason.
I know I know their conduct was even raised in the House of Lords, but they did raid the man's house, their attention was drawn to the house for a reason, maybe not a good reason or even correctly but for something.

My Grand father gets one mention and he was a Captain, so I know it's possible but I'm guessing if I looked he might get a mention in someone's application, they are not on line yet to look.
My Gran gets nothing although according to her she deserved the pension more that her husband. 

The started the online records with the one's connected with Easter 1916 but a lot of lads didn't join until after that, than fell away and joined up again when conscription was expected during WWI, so lots more to go online yet.

WOW

I am honestly stunned that you think that 5 minutes past curfew was 'a reason' to give a sick woman a beating.

I shall say no more on the matter and wish you well !

Tara

You said that was the reason.

You said that was the reason.

I'm just reading what you said again.
Are you trying to imply I think that was a reasonable reason.
If you are you are very much mistaken.

[Sinann]

I am also  very upset
What do you think I am.

[Sinann]

5 minutes past curfew is a reason.

This is what you said Sinann 

Tara

Yes, that what is what I said, clearly that was the reason they gave, or you wouldn't have mentioned it in the first place.
I didn't say it was a good reason, I didn't say it was reasonable, I didn't say it was a moral reason, I didn't say it was a gentlemanly reason.
It WAS their reason therefore it WAS a reason.

This is what you said.
Implying that I agreed with their reason.
How dare you.

Hi Sinann

Can I clear the air please ?

We are both here to help people with a hobby that we both love and it's a shame that this thread has gone sour.

Sorry Bellevue.

It's always tricky when you read the written form.

To me, yes it did read that you thought it was ok as it was 'their' reason.

Thank You for clarfiying.

I shall delete all my posts here if that helps.

I'm Sorry !

I can't agree, if he did the things the obit claims someone will have named him at some point. May not be online yet.
These, while illegal, were all military organisations, run along the conventional rules of the time. If he was training men he had a rank, if courts were held in him home he was well know in the area and respected, that can't have gone unremarked. Raided by the Tans, there had to be a reason.

His wife turned the arms away, why? It doesn't say, perhaps she knew a raid would happen, but he was trused by the men who called with the arms, why?

Hopefully then at some point in the near future some record will go online listing his name. It does not look like I can do much more at this point except make contact with some local Old IRA committees and the like.

Do you know if there is a list of records due to be released?

Did you mean to delete all of your posts in this thread because they are all gone!
