Captain Noel Lemass Memorial, Featherbed Mountain, Glenchree, County Wicklow, May 28 - 2008

Memorial to Captain Noel Lemass Irish Republican Army. Captain Noel Lemass (1897-1923) of the 3rd Battalion, Dublin Brigade IRA fought in the General Post Office (GPO) during the Easter Rising of 1916, took an active part in the War of Independence (1919-1921) and joined the occupation of the Four Courts after taking the anti-Treaty side in the Civil War. His younger brother Sean, who had a similar military career, would go on to become Ireland’s fourth Taoiseach. In July 1923, two months after the Civil War ended, Noel Lemass was taken by Free State Government agents in Dublin city centre. His body was eventually found 3 months later on Featherbed Mountain near the Glencree Road. It is believed he was executed elsewhere and his body dumped at this location.

German Military Cemetery, Glencree, County Wicklow - May 29, 2008

The Glencree German War Cemetery (German: Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof Glencree) is located in the valley of Glencree, County Wicklow, Ireland. The cemetery was dedicated on 9 July 1961. There are 134 graves. Most are Luftwaffe or Kriegsmarine personnel. Fifty-three are identified, 28 are unknown. Six bodies are those of World War I prisoners of war held by the British. Forty-six of those interred were German civilian detainees who were being shipped from Britain to Canada for internment when their ship, SS Arandora Star was torpedoed by a German U-boat, U-47, off Tory Island, County Donegal, on July 1940. Dr Hermann Görtz, an Abwehr spy, is also buried there. Dr Görtz committed suicide after the war when he was informed he would be deported; he feared he would be handed over to the Soviet Union. The graveyard is administered by the German War Graves Commission (Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge). During the Second World War (or Great Emergency as it was known in Ireland) Luftwaffe planes either crashed in Ireland whilst heading on raids to the UK or after damage on the way home with some planes landing in the country as their crews knew they would be interned rather than treated as Prisoners of War if they had surrendered in the UK. Located nearby is the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation housed in the former British Army Glencree Barracks.

Seamus Rafter Statue, Enniscorthy, County Wexford - May 28, 2008

The Seamus Rafter statue in Abbey Square, Enniscorthy was erected in 1958. Seamus Rafter (24 January 1873 – 12 September 1918) launched the Gaelic League in Enniscorthy, Wexford. He was a commander in the Wexford Brigade of the Irish Republican Brotherhood during the failed 1916 Easter Rising in Enniscorthy. Rafter was born in Monalee, Ballindaggin, Ireland. After the 1916 Rebellion in Enniscorthy, he was incarcerated at HMP Dartmoor, Princetown, Devon and initially sentenced to death; this sentence was later commuted to five years' imprisonment. After about one year, the rebels were released, and Rafter continued to recruit volunteers for his cause. He died on September the 12th 1918, of wounds he received from an accidental detonation of explosives he was manufacturing in his business premises.
