Was Billy Corri not ASU man & later a member of the Guard (Squad & ASU joined after the Custom House)? I have never seen him listed as Squad member.

What did this mean Gary? That he essentially changed his political stance?

Honestly, I dont know. I am referring to 'squad' as in the picture. Its something ive always meant to look into but never got round to. I do remember being told a story of DeValera being served meals in Kilmainham with silverware etc and my great-grandfather raging at this and ordering he be treated as any other prisoner. I would need to ask about any other info. I also believe that he and his brother ended up on different sides if that makes sense.

I stumbled upon this site by accident after typing his name into Google out of interest so dont know too much. :)

Hi there,

That very picture hangs in my mother's hallway in Glasgow, sunny Scotland, as Captain William Corri was her grandfather. I believe that would mean that David Corri would be a not so distant relative to myself. We keep in regular contact with family in Ireland, one being a David Corri, Grandson to Captain William Corri also.

I believe my mother has been given more information about 'the squad' through certain books that have been written recently.
