Greetings Kevin, Spotted you email on the Wexford website. I rmember when I was a young reporter on The Free Press in Wexford we published a list of surviving Old IRA veterans of the War of Independence who were in receipt of military service medals. That's the only official listing I'm aware of. Names of many who were interned were published in the news columns of the local papers as they were released at different times in 1918. Names of casualties are given in Richard Roche's book "Here's Their Memory" published in 1966 - the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising in 1916. An account of the Civil War, from the Republican side, was published by Sémus Mac Suain (Seamus Swan) in 1995. Again it names casualties. You might be interested to know, also, that the vol. 4 of the book "Wexford in the Rare Oul' Times" deals with the 1914-18 War, the War of Independence and Civil War. Let me know if I can be of any further help. Hope you keep well, Hilary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Byrne" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 4:34 PM Subject: [WEX] Police records > On the same subject, are the records of the Troubles and Civil War period > available?

Hilary: I have my grandfather's 1916 medal. He died in 1957 and I have been unable to obtain any information about his service. If you have any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them........... -----Original Message----- From: hilary murphy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 12:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WEX] Police records Greetings Kevin, Spotted you email on the Wexford website.
