Thanks for that Bob. My own great uncle William could have been roped into that lot. No mention has been made in our family legends though.

A real can of worms Billy, I had friends who were in the English army, during the troubles. I also had a friend who was in the IRA, full on. They could all have a beer at the Brighton, nicely enough. But being good mates, we always made sure they were never left together, alone, under the influence.
