Niall, I relish your participation in our community, and welcome you to 'the flock.' We'll be producing a feature on Francis Ledwidge shortly, and look forward to getting more of your perspectives on this period, your father's ouevre and your unique Irish story. Might you outline here the info you present at http://irishbornman.tripod.com/. Your background is a rich expression of the history of the Irish.
