CONSTABLE McDONNELL'S ORPHANS
Cahir Park, Cahir
30th January, 1919
To the Editor of "The Nationalist."
Sir,_ With the approval of Lord Dunalley, the Lord Lieutenant of the County (who has subscribed £5), I have undertaken to raise a fund for the benefit of Constable McDonnell's orphan children, three of whom are quite young and unprovided for.
Sympathisers will kindly send any contributions they may be good enough to make, addressed to me, c/o Mr. W. B. Talbot, Cahir Park, Cahir, Co. Tipperary.- Yours faithfully,
RICHARD B CHARTERIS, Lt.. Col. High Sheriff.
This blog was started as part of a project for college. I have always been fascinated by the War of Independence as my family were involved. My maternal grandfatehr was part of the Third Tipperary Brigade Fifth Battalion. There is no online archive for The Nationalist newspaper- you must travel to the Thurles library to view the microfilm archives in person. I hope this helps anyone who is interested in these events but can't travel to Thurles.
