[Erskine Childers @erskinechilders]

Back in 2022 when @LarchCat @FilmsScratch contacted me to take part in the film, I never knew the lengths they aspired to attain in the final cut.

Many thanks to all at Scratch (Ruth,Liam) , Conor, Mary ,all at @bealoideasucd @ucddublin .

The film is now there for subsequent...

[Mick O'Farrell @MOF1916]

@Amandemic2020 @erskinechilders Thanks Erskine - we were so glad to get Mick and his stories recorded.
We'd listened to them for years, and always knew they needed a wider audience.
So it was brilliant when @CivilWarMemory arrived, and they were so good to him during filming.
Here's a behind-the-scenes shot -
