McQuaid's stepbrother Eugene served in the Free State army and was killed in an ambush outside Newport Co Mayo on the 22nd of February 1923. Fascinating file in the Military Service Pensions Collection.

To Hayley, Anastasia, Cormac and Conor, thank you for accepting my paper and for organising such a brilliant conference. From Monica McWilliams to the Tet Offensive to an isolated bog in West Sligo and everything in between, you covered it all. Congratulations and well done !
