Bachelor's Walk casualties 1914

[corisande]

I am always reticent to open the floodgates, so would like to try to keep this thread to the names of those injured.

As I understand it 3 people were killed and one man later died. the only place I see the names of the dead is in the song

Mrs. Duffy, James Brennan and Patrick Quinn died in the shooting, and thirty-two were injured. One man died later of bayonet wounds.

Does anyone have, or know where to get, a list of the injured. I am looking in particular to know if one of these two children appeared among the injured, Julia Moore aged about 10 in 1914 or May aged about 9 then.

Thanks

It is quite startling that virtually all the wounded were men.

I guess a child would show up if it existed among the wounded.

One of those injured was the father of the legendary singer Luke Kelly, the father, also called Luke, was crossing the Ha’penny Bridge at the time. One of those killed died as a result of bayonet wounds received when he and two other men attempted to drag one of the soldiers out of the ranks. It wasn’t surprising that most injured were men as both the Irish Times and witness statement at the inquests stated that the crowd consisted of around a thousand people mostly young men. The officer in charge, Major Alfred Haig was struck several times in the face with bricks, he had been on leave on the day but was ordered to report to Sackville Street (O’Connell Street) to assist. The strength of the Borderers is given as around 150 to 200. Haig initially attempted to return to Royal Barracks (Collins barracks) were the Borderers were garrisoned but the crowed followed continually showering the Borderers with bricks and rotten fruit. When they reached Bachelor’s Walk Haig ordered 20 Borderers to line up facing the crowd, 10 standing and ten kneeling and prepare to fire, Haig claimed he never gave the order to fire. The official verdict was simply that ‘promiscuous firing by 21 soldiers took place without orders’.

Actually a 4th died there, but she is often missed.  Alice Brady (age 15) was also killed and she is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.

On 26 July 1914 at 6.30 pm, following retrieval of the Howth
Rifles, four civilians were killed and more than thirty-five were seriously injured when fired on by the King’s Own Scottish Borderers (quickly nicknamed the ‘King’s Own Scottish Murderers’ by Dubliners). About one hundred of the Borderers under the command of Cpt. Cobden had marched toward Howth to the Malahide Road where there was a confrontation with the Volunteers. The troops continued towards the city and were met along the way by a further sixty men under the command of Maj. Coke. They were harassed by civilians along the route and when they turned from Sackville Street onto Bachelor’s Walk the command was turned over to a Maj. Haig.
Those killed were James Brennan (eighteen), Mrs Mary Duffy (fifty, she was the mother of a soldier serving in the British army), Alice Brady (fifteen), and Patrick Quinn (forty-six).


The above is from my book.  I am not trying to sell books here, but will be glad to give info if I can.

Interested in John (Jack) Connolly.

Strangely if Alice Brady was aged 16 and from Luke St she died from what look's like Tetanus due to gun shot wound to right hand from a revolver.

the date was 1st January 1914 at Patrick Duns Hosp
