Old IRA Dublin Brigade

[Dubchick]

I have found a funeral notice for my granduncle Thomas Patterson(aka Sam) or Jackson  said he was Old lRA. 4th Battalion C Coy.  He was from Cork St just beside Emerald Square. Apparently he was in receipt of a military pension for his service. He would have been around 17 years of age in 1916. Does anyone have any details about 4th Battilion C Coy?

Hello Dubchick,

Check out the Military Services Pensions Collection

IRA 2 EASTERN DIVISION - RO/1-9/20-25

Content - 4th Battalion, Dublin 1 Brigade (R0 5). Unit strength on 11th July 1921 was 934 all ranks, and the strength on 1st July 1922 was 451 all ranks. All of the companies of the 4th Battalion were located within the city of Dublin

If he applied for a Military Pension, you should be able to locate his file online
