Subject Information File relates to Bridget Flannery’s unsuccessful application for a military service pension under the Military Service Pensions Act 1934. Flannery states she was a member of Glenisland Branch (D Company) of Cumann na mBan in County Mayo from 1918 up to the end of the Civil War in 1923. During the War of Independence (January 1919 – July 1921) she states she partook in the usual activities; made haversacks, sourced billets and assisted men on the run. During the Truce period she states she continued to billet men on the run and sew clothing for them. She states the same service during the Civil War (June 1922 – May 1923), taking the anti-treaty side. Subject did not provide references and did not appear before the Advisory Committee. File includes correspondence and memoranda related to subject’s application.
