Kathleen [O'Cahalon?] also writes "I am always [pieved?] that I have never seen any mention or appreciation of the men I admired most in the "The Movement", the sailors and firemen- most of whom had never seen Ireland who at [..?] risks, carried the arms from America week by week. They were mighty young men with no thought of reward- only devotion to their Motherland.".
