Corrections and Additions for the Third Edition of They Put the Flag a-Flyin’ Chapter 2 p. 10 “Priests of the Rebellion” section last line first column…The Four Courts attack occurred in June 1922, not April p. 15 4th line from the bottom….Pat Madden was never in prison p. 16 Middle of the page…paragraph beginning “In the Kilglass area…” Michael Thomas Kavanagh is spelled Michael Thomas Cavanagh

Chapter 3 p. 19 There is some discrepancy about the founding of the Cumann na mBan. Some authors say 2 April, others say 5 April. In the third edition the author simply stated “ in April” p. 24 “Attempted Disarming of Guards” section. This action occurred on 23 September, not 28 September

Chapter 4 p. 39 Caption under the photo should read James Daly not John Daly p. 43 “Sergeant Killed” section Second Paragraph, the exact date that Craddock led a group of men to Joseph Cummingham’s was 22 August p. 44 “Ambush at Ratra” section… second paragraph…the spelling of John McManmy should read John McManamy p. 45 “British Raiding Party” section. The exact date for the attack in the River Shannon is 17 October, not in September p. 48 The photo on p. 48 is a photo of Sean Connolly, but NOT Sean Connolly of Longford. This Sean Connolly was from Dublin and mistakenly given to the author by the Commanding Officer of the Longford Barracks

Chapter 5 p. 69 2nd paragraph…Sgt. McArdle was not killed but rather wounded in the encounter with the Volunteers p. 78 “Attempted Attack on Barracks” section. The exact date for the action was 11 February p. 79 Sidebar box…11th line….Jack Downs should be spelled Jack Downes p. 79 “Spies” section…3rd paragraph…the exact date for a visit to the spies in Loughlynn was 4 April not 6 April p. 82 The wording of the Paddy Moran article was altered to reflect the fact that Moran was indeed guilty of the charges brought against him. He played an active role in Bloody Sunday at the Gresham Hotel (see The Squad by T. Ryle Dwyer, pp. 169 and 211) p. 86 Paragraph beginning “The demise of Captain Peake”….The Earl of Middleton should be spelled the Earl of Midleton

Chapter 6 p. 96 “Bad Luck and Mis-timing” section…the action occurred on 6 April not 9 April p. 98 “Attack on Ballaghaderreen Barracks” section…second paragraph, the name of the participant is Mick Harrington p. 101 “Kilrooskey Fight” section…the Tans were originally on a cycle patrol not in a lorry. Also the attack happened on a Saturday night, 28 May not on 30 May p. 107…2nd paragraph…The beginning words should read “One day later” not “Two days later”……Thomas McGowan was shot p. 110 The name of Peter McArdle needs to be stricken from the listing of Police Casualties p. 111 The Ambush at Southpark took place on 10 July not 9 July

Many of the dates of Civil War actions have been changed. Why were they wrong in the first place? The author originally took her information from records in the Military Archives dated a specific date, but the actual day of the occurrences has been derived from extensive research in the newspaper articles of the times, which are now available on the internet. Thus, new dates have been affixed to actions in the 3rd edition.

Chapter 7 p. 177 Paragraph beginning “Brady and Galvin were the first”, the words “On the night of 9 September” have been added p. 138 The dates of various actions have changed: Next to the last paragraph….skirmish at Ballinlough-- -23 July; Ballinagare 28 July p. 141 In sidebar, Jack Fitzgerald of Cork has been added to the Flying Column Members p. 144 “A Snapshot of August” section 11 August…..“National troops captured three ex-British Army personnel”…happened on 7 August Republicans were arrested in Kiltimagh, but not thirty Last two lines….Anti-Treaty men stole tons of petrol on 21 August p. 145 By the third bullet----Kiltoom train robbery happened on 16 August Sixth bullet---The Arigna Field hospital was located in a corrugated shed owned by the Arigna Mining Company. Also on that date petrol was seized by Leitrim Volunteers and conveyed to Curry, Co. Sligo Eighth bullet---Sean McCormack was not intentionally killed by Volunteers while attending to officer Rattigan p. 148 Kiltoom train robbery happened on 16 August not 18 August p. 151 Paragraph beginning “Throughout the area,….” Castlegeoghegan Barracks was burned on the 10 October not the 9th p. 152 In sidebar box---Frank Balfe was killed on 6 July p. 158 Section “Chaos Engulfs the County/”…second line…Wording changes to “About 28 December” instead of 28 December. (Multiple searches in the newspapers could not determine the exact date of the attack) Same paragraph….8th line….Not just couriers but the town of itself was the target of an attack p. 165 Section “Dwindling Republican Resources”….second bullet…David Daly was captured on 6 February not 30 January p. 166 4th bullet---May Donellan was arrested on 13 March not 15 March p. 167 Section “Republican Truce Talks” second paragraph…5th line. Bill Quirk’s name was misspelled.

But Keogh was a bit of a magician…he got arrested, escaped, got re-arrested, escaped again so many times that the author needed an abacus to keep track of all his exploits

Chronology There were scores of changes in the dates of various actions in the county

Roscommon Volunteer Section p. 211 Peter Barrett was killed on 28 September 1923 p. 215 Sean Bermingham died on 10 December 1974 and was buried in Cemetery p. 222 John Brennan was the Captain of the Kilgefin Company p. 228 Frank Carty died in 1942 p. 232 Ellen Collins of Aughamuck, Kilrooskey has been added.

A mistake that persisited from 1st edition through the 2nd edition was that James Fehilly really existed.

But his home was not Roscommon but rather Lisnagroagh, The first man on the left was mis-identified as Sean Leavy, but his son definitely told the author this was not so. The man was identified as Leavy in a photo formerly published in a Roscommon journal, and thus the author used that information. The real identity of the first man on the left is unknown p. 302 Sean Galvin died in October 1934 p. 303 Both Joe and Michael Garrahan were involved in the Fourmilehouse Ambush p. 310 A picture of Martin Gilligan of Hazelbrook House has been added p. 315 John Morrissey Greally’s name should have only one L.

Excerpted from the author’s new book, Echoes of their Footsteps, Volume I (in blue below): 4 November Coosan, Co. Westmeath Column leader, Christopher “Kit” McKeown, was killed in action in Moate (Western Command Intelligence Papers dated 13 November 1922). Captain Sean Farrell of the National Army was walking to the Courthouse when four men surrounded him. Shots were exchanged, and Kit fell dead. McKeown, who lived in St. Columbe’s Terrace in Athlone, was well known and well respected in the area. He had been a sergeant in the Machine Gun Corps of the British Army during World War I, but had returned to to fight for her independence. His funeral cortege was over a mile long (“Fatal Moate Hold-Up,” Irish Independent, 7 November 1922, p. 6), (“Tragic Affray in Moate,” Westmeath Examiner, 11 November 1922, p. 5), and (“Moate Shooting Victim,” Freemans Journal, 11 November 1922, p. 4) p. 384 Marie Melinn-Dowling has been added to the list A photo of Joseph Melinn has been added p. 386 −387 In 1st and 2nd edition, James Moran of was credited with being Director of Training for the 3rd Battalion and dying in the late 1970s.

He also fought with Michael Kilroy’s West Mayo Column, participated in the attacks on Castlerea Barracks in November 1922 and March 1923. He died in February 1980 and is interred in St. Coman’s Cemetery.

Died February 1945 and buried in Mountirwin Cemetery The time and place of death of Frank O’Donoghue is best described in the author’s new book, Echoes of their Footsteps, Volume I: 13 December As a result of an encounter with Free State troopers in Ruskey, Co. Roscommon, Frank O’Donoghue, Vice O/C of the 3rd Battalion North Roscommon, was wounded. His actual place of death, however, has been shrouded in mystery. The private papers of Pat Mullooly, quartermaster of the North Roscommon Brigade, state that he died in the Curragh. In The IRA in the Twilight Years by Uinseann MacEoin, his death place is listed as Quaker Island in Lough Ree. Padraic O’Farrell’s Who’s Who in the Irish War of Independence and Civil War claims that O’Donoghue died in Athlone. (p. 91). The Leitrim Observer of 21 April 1923 (p. 2) in an article entitled “Requiem Mass,” stated that he died in the Curragh, as does his death certificate registered in Naas, Co. Kildare. The Sinn Féin website claims that he was taken to Quaker Island after being injured and died there. In 1973 a monument was erected to his memory in Kilglass Cemetery which presents 10 March 1923 as the day of his death (They Put the Flag a-Flyin’ The Roscommon Volunteers 1916−1923 by Kathleen Hegarty Thorne, p. 409) p. 410 A photo of Sean O’Farrell has been added p. 416 Mick Pender was not arrest at a dance but rather while he was riding in a motor car with several other Republicans p. 427 −428 John Scally of Gallagh, Cloontuskkert, Ballyleague was re-interred in Cloontuskert Cemetery on 10 September 1921.

Heuston and fought at the Mendicity Institute where he was seriously wounded by an exploding grenade. After his discharge from the hospital, he was imprisoned in Kilmainham, Knutsford, Wandsworth, and Frongoch. He was released but took ill on 27 October 1918 and died on 2 November 1918. Buried in Glasnevin Cemetery in an unmarked grave number JD 19, about ten rows from the grave of Thomas Ashe. His brother, Michael, later headed the Garda. Liam’s picture has been added p. 440 George Tanner…in July 1920 he was fired upon by an RIC man in Elphin while sitting in a taxi cab with James Feely and a driver named Hunt. James Hayden, J.

Incidentally, D’Arcy was a cousin of Tony d’Arcy, who died on hunger strike in 1940 p. 456 Jack Keogh was captured in September 1922, but also multiple times later after each of his escapes. A rendition of his 1925 escape appears in Echoes of their Footsteps: End of April Jack Keogh, former leader of Republicans in South Galway, from Ballinasloe area, had been put before the court in May of 1924. Charged with Civil War crimes of burning the barracks at Laurencetown, stealing property and threatening Guards, he had been sentenced to a hefty prison term in Portlaoise by Judge O’Shaughnessy.
