Ok so after speaking to William roes nephew I've found out that he was shot twice. Once in ww1 and again during the irish civil war, where he was guarding a bakery on o'connell St. And an IRA man shot him in the knee.. surely this would have been recorded somewhere? It must have happened between 24th October 1922 (when he joined) and 24th May 1923 (when the civil war ended).... Wikipedias irish civil war timelines mentions on 1st December 1922 four free state soldiers were wounded in a gun fight in dublin and another incident on 24th feb 1923 where a free state soldier was shot in the thigh... i wonder if anyone could find a more detailed account of these 2 events ?
