Subject Information File relates to Letitia Kelly’s unsuccessful application for a military service pension under the Military Service Pensions Act, 1934. Applicant claimed membership of Cumann na mBan in the service periods between 01 April 1918 and 30 September 1923 during the War of Independence, Truce period and Civil War. Subject was in receipt of a Service (1917-1921) Medal, see file MD25674. Letitia Kelly states that she was a member of Glenhest Compay, 2 Battalion, West Mayo Brigade, Cumann na mBan under the command of Bridie Kelly.
