Captain Paddy(Patrick) Jordan

[odonnellt]

 I've just found out that my great uncle Captain Paddy Jordan was in the Irish Army & died when he was in his 90's. I Googled his name & found a reference to him on the Irish Times website. Only problem is, I couldn't read the full article as I don't have subscription to the paper.
 Does anyone have any info on him for me please? My mum'd love to know more about him. All we know is he was a Captain in the Army & lived in a big house in Clontarf.
