I don't know much about him , except he was interned during the Irish war of independence in Kilmainham jail , there is a plaque in the jail with his name carved on it. [John 'The Brown' Dardis]
He died in the fields behind our house while looking after cows.
His son also died in the fields not too far away , he was blown up by an unexploded bomb he found.

How sad ,,as a family we never talked about these things , if the subject was brought up ,we were quickly told to s,,,,
