Just now I met the grandson of this man who is one of the most historically significant figures of The War of Independence.
This man led one of the most successful flying columns against the British troops and Black & Tans during one of the most bloody periods of Irish history . He was one of the most successful Irish Rebel commanders in history .
What just made it , was that he let me handle the gold signet ring which belonged to his grandfather and which is inscribed with his initials . I got a photo of it but can't post it for some reason off my phone . If anyone can do it from a computer could you drop me a pm with a reply email address and I will send it to you .
Let me put this in context . I would equate the ring with an American handling the pen that signed the Declaration of Imdependence .
