There was a book written in the 1940s by a man named Fox (RH Fox I think)
It listed all the people involved in the war of independence if they were known
It just stated region operated in, name and duration
I have a copy of some names from it and I will try and dig it out to get the actual name of the book - it should be available in libraries
Also military records from that period are held in Renmore Barracks, Galway
The records of anyone who even applied for a pension in the 1940s/1950s, when one was made available, is held there.
Now don't hold your breath I applied last December for two records and am still waiting - waiting period is 6-9 months to get records from storage copied and forwarded.
Basically people at the time applied for a pension and included a written document of what their activities were during 1916 and 1920-22. Some just filled in the form and ticked the box, others wrote long detailled letters of their actions. These forms were kept regardless of whether a pension was awarded or not.
