Hi Philip  Flynn was like other prisoners and was moved about from cell to cell. This was sometimes due to the normal problems that can occour when men are locked up in a confined space. Its the same in prisons everywhere. Philip was in Cell 33 Section D  on the 24th July '21.

Hi many thanks for that, The body of that poor fellow was further out on the road ware he fell. They dragged him to that position until the lorry came and they put him into it. Don't know where they took it. Should not be to hard to find out
The other one with the group sitting beside the statue is the committee who organised the event. The Dutch artist had to do a lot of work for nothing on the job. Not enough money. I met him and his wife. Very nice people. The photo was taken from outside the rails on the street. Not the best.
The third one the little face under your mans arms. is Ned Lane. He was flushed out by soldiers from the basement yard. When they called on him to come out with his hands up or they would blow him to kingdom come.He answered back. They new his very distinctive voice. They had being guarding him for weeks before hand and was not long out. This may have saved is life. The people who he is standing with were not on the job, Just people they had rounded up He was taken from the arch to the end and corner of the building. You could feel the heat of the fire. Then he was taken under the arch into smaller groups of single lines, Private 1st class.

A very warm welcome to Private First Class! There is some really first class information there. You wouldn't have a name for the man that Traynor ordered upstairs at gunpoint? The lists of names of people involved are really good. About half of them I had, but there are a lot of names of people I suspected were involved but had no evidence. I was interested to see the thing about cyclists. I came across a grave in York last summer of a man who belonged to a cyclists' battalion in the First WW. The sculptor who did the Custom House memorial was a Breton and was in exile in Ireland. Yann Renard-Goulet, if I remember right. I'll have a good look through the stuff and then get back to you when I get the chance.  :)

I have always thought that the picture of the dead man lying on the ground outside the Custom House might have been Edward Dorins. It is hard to tell, of course, but there is a picture of Edward available here.
