Similar to William Loughnane, Irish Volunteer, Mitchell Street, Thurles . The British forces had been killing Republicans in Thurles , and they broke into Loughnane house and ran up stairs, shooting Willie while he lay in his bed. Willie died the next day. He is Buried in St Mary's Chapel, Thurles, close to his home.
Isnt that another part of the scandsl? Redmond told Irishmen to go fight in Europe "for the freedom of small nations"... but what a lie. As always throughout history, we were used as cannon fodder, horribly so against the Turks.
