This is a wonderful link, many thanks. Could I be so bold as to ask for help on the following questions?
My grandfather Denis Byrne (1901-1940) fought in 1916 for the Citizen army. However, I can't find his name on any of the pages - are there other lists to be uploaded?
From Liberty Hall, he went to St.Stephens Green and was in the trenches till monday evening from where he moved to Littles Public house from Cuffe st gate, Leaving Littles on Thursday morning on to Jacobs where he stayed until the surrender but escaped capture. The pub is not mentioned in the lists or in the national archives website on 1916 and I cannot find anything about Littles anywhere! Is this pub called something else? I'm assuming it might be J&T Daveys, would that be right?
I have the honour of having the 1916 and 1917-1921 medals handed down to me from his son, My father John Byrne, folded in a green and gold armband with blood on it.
I obtained all these details from his Pension Application, a photocopy sent by the Department Of Defense, Pensions Administration Section, Tel 091 743700. They were fantastically helpful and I'd recommend contacting them for copies of the Pension Application which details the individual volunteers journey though the week and was completed by our ancestors, so its wonderful to see their writing.
many thanks
Denis Byrne
