      Looks like Henry St to me just after the Rebellion. GPO to the left foreground and the tower above Arnotts towards the center?

                          Rashers, unfortunatly I was stuck in london all that year and missed out on the celebrations. By the way there is a brief shot of me uncle Joe in the background of the opening of Kilmanham in the 2nd video.

                          Great to see this stuff.

                            Have to watch out for him, Capt. I did a bit of voluntary work on the Kilmainham restoration as a sort of personal memorial to my paternal grandparents, both of who spent a bit of time as guests of the nation.

                            One great regret I have is that my gran died without me getting all of her stories on tape. She all but totally raised me up to the age of about 14 years, and she used to bring that era to life for me and even as a younger kid with no political understanding whatever I would be enthralled by her stories.... as she spoke I would be there.

                            I remember the first day she saw me in a (to her) Free State uniform. She screamed when she recognised me as I came up the stairs of her flat and begged me not to "wear their coat" as she put it. Another old man in the flats calmed her down, and reluctantly she accepted that I had joined an army that was no longer a curse in her memories.

                            It wasn't until the Congo that she began to recognise that this new Ireland was respected in the eyes of the world, and she was proud of that.
