File relates to Dora Fleming’s application under the Army Pensions Acts in respect of the death of her brother Thomas Fleming who was killed at Glountane/Clountane, Cordal, Castleisland, County Kerry on 16 June 1921. Noted in file that Fleming was laying a mine for an ambush on British forces when it exploded.
