I was in Kilmainham Hospital yesterday (11/07). All the times I watched it on telly and thought "how boring". We were at attention and at ease for what was like 5 hours but was only 10.45 to 12.10 only 85 mins. Now I know that I am unfit, my back and shoulders were killing me. Beside me the p.a.'s were dropping like flies. Who else was there? .:D[MOD:A7 ish comments deleted.]

Was this thread's title just switched from "Mary and Mad Bertie at Killmainham" to "UN Commemoration", or haven't I enough coffee yet.
BTW MODS you should give it's correct title "The National Day of Commemoration"
[MOD: Thank you, go have more coffee and think about nicotine]

Each Brigade was represented by one officer and twenty one other ranks.
The East was represented by the BTC, the South was represented by 22nd Bn, and the 4th MPC represented the West.
There was also a representative from DFTC and twelve MP's on duty.
There were six fainters, all from the West........
All of the above were FCA.
Regards etc
