Waterloo


Posted by anna on June 19, 2015 at 10:39:23:

Did anyone in Castlebar remember the victorious Irish at Waterloo on their 200th Anniversary this week?
Kevin Myers did, last Sunday, & listed Wellington's Irish Generals.
He left out our own local hero, General George O'Malley whose statue stands outside the Church of Ireland. He is included in the portrait of the generals - in Apsley House, I think.Maybe we're not quite ready to celebrate him, just yet - but I can imagine a wreath-laying event - perhaps in 25 years time...
