Abstract

My uncle’s story is replete with gunrunning for the Irish Volunteers and later the Sinn Fein, with run-ins with the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and the British Army stationed in Ireland, resulting in time spent in Irish prisons, with all the drama and mayhem that a young man could want or endure during the period in Ireland known as “The Rising.”
