Liam Hayes was wounded during the attack at Dromkeen. During the Truce period Hayes served as Brigade Quartermaster and later as Brigade Officer Commanding and joined the National Army - date not on file. He served throughout the Civil War and served with the Defence Forces until retiring in January 1943 at the rank of Major General during the Emergency (Second World War).
