<p>The picture above was taken in March 1992, when Chuck (far right) became one of the 40 participants in the Irish Brigade Association's 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home' barnstorming tour across Ireland. This picture was taken in Fethard, County Tipperary, the birthplace of Fenian Michael Doheny, one of the early commanders of the 69th New York State Militia Regiment that later became famous as 'The Fighting 69th.' Chuck is wearing the uniform of a Union Army major general, in fact, a replica of that worn by Phil Sheridan, by Civil War's end perhaps the best-known of the Irish commanders serving the United States.</p>
