A chara
Anyone have any observations/experiences re: Defence Forces participation
(e.g., piper, volley over grave) in graveside ceremonies involving
deceased high ranking veterans of the War of Independence?
Decision as to military particiption is reportedly a political decision
made at the highest level - i.e., Minister for Defence - and
is not, I am told, a pro forma matter.
While the oldest Volunteer only recently died, there is/are ashes
of Volunteer/"Irregular" Commandant(s) which have not been interred.
