HI Anthony, Thank you for looking, ANY info. I can get my hands on is good!! Yes please if you don't mind contacting the National Graves Association just in case. He is buried in Glasnevin cemetery. In the same grave is his sister Hilda BLAKE (nee MOORE) and also Ernest BLAKE (son of Hilda). Apparently the surname began life as O'MOORE and later became MOORE. Thank you once again.

Hello, I don't know if this is any use to you, but I have a copy a letter dated 1950 or 1956 which my great-uncle sent to: Minister for Defense Colaiste Caorulin Glassnevin Dublin (Sorry for any spelling errors, the letter is handwritten and some of the letters are not quite clear). He was trying to collect under the Military Pensions Act of 1949 for his service in the IRA. In this letter my uncle detailed his service and the raids in which he participated. If this is a requirement for collecting a pension, perhaps such records exist for other IRA members and could be obtained from the Minister for Defense. Just a thought!
