Thanks hughrg!
No wonder I couldn't find the book!
Hopefully, I'll hear from some other descendants from this line.
Any more Argentinians out there from the Gillespie-O'Dwyer line?
Would love to hear from you.

Hello all.
Just came upon this site after trying to find a copy of "The Greatest Soldier".
Noticed the last post by "hughrg" was the only one to point out that Sir RRG's offspring were illegitimate.  Indeed, my family's legend was always that RRG was a bit of an all-round cad (not that that's necessarily a bad thing).
I note that hughrg's post states that RRG's illegitimate daughter Selina married Andrew Carew O'Dwyer and that they had just one child, Mary.
I might be much mistaken and would be happy for guidance here but my family tree states that they also had a son, Joseph O'Dwyer from whom I am descended as I suspect an earlier O'Dwyer poster may be too.
This line of the family are chiefly in Argentina, London and elsewhere in Britain. 
I would be very happy to hear from anyone-I'm only just discovering everyone now...
Thanks for any further info re this.
