>From your extract on tullow st you say that nanny nolans brother left his diarys of the Boer war. My grandfather William Rice served in the Boer War I wonder if he was ever mentioned in these diaries. He was from carlow . It is saisd that he took part in a ? military propaganda film during the boer war where he "wore a bandage and used crutches to limp across a field. Part of the "fee" for doing this was a "slap up meal" If you have any information at all I would be truely grateful
Many thanks
