File No. S.2368 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY THOMAS SHALLOO, Parliament St., Ennistymon, Co. Glare, formerly Vice O/C 5th Battalion, Mid dare Brigade. I was born on 12.1.1895 at Caherclough, Ennistymon, where my people were farmers. At present I carry on business as a publican and as a commercial traveller, having a number of agencies for the counties. of Glare and Galway. I joined the Irish Volunteers on their formation in Ennistymon early in 1914. My recollection now is that the unit was, under the control of a committee, and that it contained about 150 men from the town and the surrounding districts. Drilling, which took place in the Town Hall, was under the control of three. instructors, Andy O'Brien, Christy Doyle and Ambrose Kelligher, all ex British Army men. We drilled twice a week, timber guns being used for musketry instruction at first, and after some months the unit got a dozen Martini Henry rifles through some source of which Phi not aware. The instructors were very competent men and by the summer of 1914. they had moulded the Ennistymon unit into a smart military body well versed in squad, company and musketry drill. Though the Town Hall was.! then the headquarters of the unit, we did most of our training in field outside the town and also got some practice in skirmishing and manoeuvres on the surrounding countryside.

  • Clarecastle and Ballyea in the Great War
    Clarecastle and Ballyea in the Great War By Ger Browne Index Page : Clarecastle and Ballyea during the Great War Page : The 35 Men from Clarecastle and Ballyea who died in the Great War and other profiles Page 57 : The List of those from Clarecastle and Ballyea in the Great War Page : The Soldiers Houses in Clarecastle and Ballyea Page : The Belgian Refugees in Clarecastle. Page : Clarecastle and Ballyea men in WW2 1 Clarecastle and Ballyea During the Great War Ennis Road Blacksmith Power’s Pub Military Barracks Train Station Main Street RIC Barracks Creggaun Clarecastle Harbour I would like to thank Eric Shaw who kindly gave me a tour of Clarecastle and Ballyea, and showed me all the sites relevant to WW1. Eric’s article on the Great War in the book ‘Clarecastle and Ballyea - Land and People 2’ was an invaluable source of information. Eric also has been a great help to me over the past five years, with priceless information on Clare in WW1 and WW2. If that was not enough, Dr Joe Power, another historian from Clarecastle published his excellent book ‘Clare and the Great War’ in 2015. Clarecastle and Ballyea are very proud of their history, and it is a privilege to write this booklet on its contribution to the Great War. 2 Main Street Clarecastle Michael McMahon: Born in Sixmilebridge, lived in Clarecastle, died of wounds 20th Aug 1917 age 25, Royal Dublin Fusiliers 1st Bn 40124, 29th Div, G/M in Belgium.

  • Ennis Cathedral
    Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.
