Hi Watchman1,

I believe we are both correct.

The information which you supply is verified by Joseph Kinsella's W.S. 476.

My information is that William Mc Donagh was succeeded by Robert Byrne as O/C in December 1920. The latter was in command until April 1921 at which stage he was succeeded by Bernard Brady as O/C. Capt. Brady was in command until July 1922. I hold copy of correspondence from all three of these gallant men which supports this statement.

Regards,
Padraic

Hi Ger,

I believe I can help.

Immediately prior to the Truce, B Coy. 4th. Battn. Dublin Brigade Old IRA was under the command of Capt. Ben Brady. Second and third in command was 1st. Lieut. Brian Leahy and 2nd. Lieut. Mick Gaynor.

I am aware that of the nine names you mentioned seven were members of B Coy.. The exceptions are P. Lanigan of whom I have no information and M. White. According to my sources, there were two members called White, Ed and Peter.

If you let me know the specific details you require, I will try to assist further. I hold the Roll of B Coy.

If the information you quote is from a publication, I would be very interested to know the source, as I am a son of a member. (I am probably correct in stating that I belong to an older generation than you!) 

Regards,
Padraic
