About this ebook
Tomás MacCurtain, a dedicated family man, took an active role in the War of Independence.

A dedicated father and husband, he was in command of the Irish Volunteers in Cork during the 1916 Rising in Dublin. He was shot dead by British forces on 20 March 1920.This short biography will open up this fascinating figure to younger readers.
