Mr Thomas (45) farmer, St Kearns Saltmills Co Wexford One of the survivors told me he heard here find. Knew very well some of the boys were doomed.

The writer had three marvellous escapes from being shot.
1. After the explosion in St Kearns I was correcting copies in the school one evening after hours. I left my own school-room and went into the classroom. No sooner had I gone in than a lorry of Black-and-Tans passed and sent a volley through the school window. The classroom where I was , was the only safe place at the moment.
