I was sent to the local national school until I was 14 years of age. When I left school I was apprenticed to the drapery trade in Rathkeale. A sluagh of the Fianna was formed in Rathkeale in the year 1913. I was among the first to join. Sean Finn became 0/C. A man by the name of P. Hogan was organiser. Our strength was approximately 20. We did the usual drilling in uniform for 12 months or so. A company of Volunteers was formed in the year 1914. With other members of the Fianna I wanted to join, but would not be accepted as I as too young. After Redmond's speech in which he called on the Volunteers to join the British army the Volunteers ceased to exist in Rathkeale. In 1915, Ernest Blythe visited the area and reorganised the Volunteers from among the members of the Fianna. Sean Finn became captain; I became 1st Lieutenant, and Pat Roche became 2nd Lieutenant. Our strength at first was eleven men. Shortly after, we marched to Ardagh to a mobilisation which was addressed by Blythe.
