Hello, I am looking for any photos of Eddie Giles who
served in the Defence Forces for many years, and was
a chef in Cathal Brugha Bks. He sadly passed away on
Christmas Eve 1967. Family members don't have any
photos so it would be great if we got any. Kind regards
Bernice Maher (nee Giles) bernicemaher@yahoo.co.uk

On Saturday 13th September a commemoration ceremony and parade will
take place at the Great War Memorial, Kilgobbin Co Dublin at 11am. The Great
War Memorial is situated on the south-west of the ruined church and old
cemetery and may be accessed from the Rectory estate on the Stepaside to
Lambs Cross road. Apart from the National Monument at Islandbridge the
memorial at Kilgobbin is one of the few monuments in Dublin City and county
erected by a local community to commemorate our Great War dead. This year's
guest speaker is Tom Burke MBE. The ceremony will commemorate the men
from Barnacullia, Carrickmines, Dundrum, Golden Ball, Kilgobbin, Kilternan,
Sandyford and Stepaside, who gave their lives in the Great War of 1914-1918.
