Frank Ryan (1902, at Bottomstown, Elton, Co.

His parents were National School teachers at Bottomstown with a taste for Irish traditional music, and they lived in a house full of books. He attended St. Colman's College. From then on he was devoted to the restoration of the Irish language. He studied Celtic Studies at University College Dublin, where he was a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) training corps. He left before graduating in order to join the IRA's East Limerick Brigade in 1922. He fought on the Republican side in the Irish Civil War, and was wounded and interned. After graduating he was a teacher of the Irish language at Mountjoy School in Dublin, but journalism was his vocation. His day job was editing Irish Travel for the Tourist Board, while he also edited The Volunteer for the IRA. In 1936 Ryan travelled to Spain with about 80 men to fight in the International Brigades on the Republican side. He served in the Lincoln-Washington Brigade, rising to Brigadier. He was attached to the staff of the 15th International Brigade in charge of publicity - writing, broadcasting and visiting the front line to see conditions first-hand. He was seriously wounded in March 1937, and returned to Ireland to recover. (…) CONOCIMIENTO DEL MEDIO 13 - ADAPTACIÓN TRASTORNO DE SÍNDROME DE ASPERGER - LESSON 5. FINAL TASK ACTIVITY 13 A.
