Hi all, wonder if anybody can help. I am trying to learn what my great grandfather was up to in about 1925. He was a captain in the Irish army around this time living on Howth road, Raheny. He was from Derry but after the war of independence he had to move to Dublin. I think there is little point in my contacting the defence forces record office as my family is kind of spread to the four winds and we are not in touch any longer. All I have is an old photograph of him in his uniform and a black and tan medal.
Just thought knowing what military units were in the area might give my a new road to search down, I don't suppose he had a car in the 20's so wherever he was based must have been in walking distance from Howth rd.
Thanks for looking, it would be nice if I could pass on his medal and photo with part of his story. Rich.
