Hello Turvey, I am trying to compile a list of names of Volunteers who were members of "E" Co 2nd Battalion, Dublin Brigade , any information you could supply would be appreciated.
I am looking for the following, how old they were , date of birth if known, if they were married, any children, single, where they lived, any medals, what line of work they were in, any known operations they were involved in, any stories you might have been told or passed down through the family, also where they were educated.
My grandfather, Commandant Michael Duffy and some of his brothers were members of "E" Co.2nd Battalion Dublin Brigade, my grandfathers brother, Thomas Duffy, made a Witness Statement, no. 1409, it refers to the operation at 38 Upper Mount Street, 21st November, 1920, known as Bloody Sunday, a copy of it is on the Michael Collins and the Squad site by Corisande, that is where my interest comes from

Hello Smokestoomuch, read your post on the operation at the G.N.R.Goods yard, great story, as you can see from the previous posts,I am looking to compile a list of members of "E" Co. 2nd Battalion, Dublin Brigade.
Would you be able to help me out with the information on your grandfather, Michael Smith.
Also, is there any way of confirming if the names mentioned in the raid were all members of " E" Co.
Leo Henderson, Mick McDonnell, John Comber, Tom Keogh and Martin Savage ?

CSM I am going to be doing research into the death of Tom Keogh in the near future (family illness is stopping me now) my reason for this is my Great Uncle (J.Wilson) was with him when he died.So I am interested to see if I can find out more on it.Also I am looking for any picture of Keogh in uniform with other soldiers as I think Johnny Wilson may have been his Adjutant  Officer.

Hello Gary, haven't been able to find anything out on William/Bill Deering but will keep an eye out for you.
I am a recent contributor to the site but have been checking through some of the threads and the amount of work and research some of you have done is amazing, the likes of yourself, Corisande, MsSmokestoomuch, Seanod to name but a few, do not take offence for all the other missing  names but I take my hat off to all of you, well done.
I am going to post a quote from a young Volunteer on( the looking for members of "E" Co.2nd Battalion site) which I think reflects a lot of the comments I have read, mainly to keep the history and tell the stories of these forgotten men and women for future generations..

I have to agree CSM, The problem was that a lot of the older generation did not talk about these things,MY Granfather only started letting a few things slip just before he died,My Great Uncle never spoke about the WOI & the Civil War,in fact my side of the family knew more then his own children.I think after the Civil War they just wanted to forget the whole thing.
