warrant papers that executed his best friend and cousin Erskine. He is 88 here. #RobertBarton #The77Executed #77Executed #Dail100
Circled, my 19yr old grandad at @ExpGlasnevin . To the right of him Robert Barton.
He travelled from Cambridge to be there for his father that day. His mother Molly at home in Terenure, she couldn’t bear it.

In roughly 4 weeks from now, this October; 100 years ago, #CumaanNanGaedheal released the bodies of those they executed at the end of 1922 > early 1923.
Widows and families, waited TWO years to mourn their dead. Re-opening traumas and pain for all.

The coffins were handed back to the families during Oct 1924.
These families had no closure on their grief for two years. Many never had closure
The landlords obviously wanted the coffins dealt with properly.
One memory of this trauma was told directly to me from a former…
I won't name the person out of respect for the family ( longstanding family of civil servants ) but, 100yrs ago this Oct, the remains of #the77executed #77executed were returned to their families after 2yrs of unresolved trauma and mourning.
One of these widows up until her...
100 years ago today, two men who were likely known to relatives of mine were executed during the Irish Civil War. I never fully apprehended the bitterness of that time until I saw this inscription in the graveyard where some of my ancestors are buried.
Some fascinating history items, in the new @WhytesDublin sale.
For families of #The77Executed #77Executed, a heartbreaking photo of lined up coffins in Athlone 1924 ( Info is incorrect. Not 1923. No funerals until Oct 1924. )

Jason, thank you. This is exactly what I was speaking to earlier.
No closure for the families for 2 years after the initial shock and trauma. Your relatives had no recourse in the 1920s. No answers. Nothing but unresolved grief.

@Tributes32 @erskinechilders Hi,
Sadly, due to where poor Leo/Luke was buried after exhumation from Columb Barracks in 1924, when his remsins were brought to Keady, Co Armagh, he was buried in the middle of the night in an unmarked grave so that the B-Specials would not interfere with the grave etc...
This hits home for any families of #the77executed #77executed
I watched my father struggle with generational trauma; struggle with trying to investigate the family histories, trying to reconcile them. Trying to maintain the family messaging of “ dont talk about the civil war “.
@Edward__Burke “Remains to be seen” is hardly a strong ethical protocol where living people are traumatised and re traumatised by a Legacy Act underpinning access to records and evidence
We need brave funders in Irish film & finance. People that will fund movies about womens history, the founding women of the country for a change:
Movies about :
- #CumannNamBan
-The widows of #The77Executed
- #CountessMarkievicz
- Mary & Muriel McSwiney
- Dr. Lynn
- #MaudeGonne
@Luighseach Would make for a great movie
Today, we outline a groundbreaking new project which shows the full scale of death during the Irish Civil War.
The Irish Civil War Fatalities Project presents an enumeration of all fatalities in the thirty-two counties during the Irish Civil War.

@erskinechilders The brickwork over the back window on the church @RathminesD6 commentates the 77 🇮🇪
if any families of #the77Executed are sitting on any evidence of torture or beatings at #PortobelloBarracks in 1922-1923, my DMs are wide open.
We need more sources to label her the way you have. That's a big allegation Clodagh.
When #The77Executed were still in shock from the executions, Maud was right there by the widow's side, when others were not. She had her faults, as anyone, but she is remembered for her strength
#ThroughHerEyes
On Maud Gonne's birthday today, recall the woman who was an activist, a revolutionary, an agitator, a suffragette, a lecturer, a writer, a separated woman, an actress and an anti-semite. Just please don't call her Yeats's muse

About 10 days ago, I had a few people here in my DM’s telling me to “…move on….” and that “…people are exhausted…” ;”….the centenaries ended. “ etc..
For families of #The77Executed #77Executes; October 2024 is the 100th anniversary for funerals and burials of their beloved.
Speaking as a member of one of #the77executed @ExpGlasnevin republican plot families; without the work of @dfarchives , there literally would be no official death records for the Irish civil war.
Imagine a state trying to judiciously kill teenagers; then 🔥 the evidence.
