Hi Caroline, Sorry to say I do not know as I have never meet John and know very little of him, who knows maybe some of his friends can answer that and let both of us know. Again sorry I was of no help on this one
Regards Tommy

Hi Tommy, I was home one time and I met someone who lived next to the SGTs mess in McDonagh and I'm sure that they had some connection with John, Its great that people can remember the names of so many of our neighbours and all of a sudden you remember this one and that one.

I wonder is this Sean Treacy who used to be my next door neighbour on O'Higgins Rd ? if it is a warm hello from your next door neighbour, I only recently discovered this site and it just brings back so many memories of when we were young. It seems to be a constant theme running through all the forums that the Curragh never leaves you. I can remember all the fun days I had as a young fella playing for years on end with Colm and Woody and of course your darling Mother who never called me anything only Lover-boy nice to see you posting Sean and keep it up, regards, Richard

Sean, great to see hear from you after all these years, yeah Ma and Da are still keeping good, would you believe still actively involved with the Scouts, funny I was out with them this weekend and we were talking about the time that the general alarm went off in the Curragh on Christmas Morning and every Kid in the Curragh woke up early to play with the toys Santa had just delivered !!! while all the soldiers had to get up, dressed and report in. It turned out that some officer full of the joys of christmas neglected to stop at a barrier !!! I did not fall far from the tree and after moving to Kilcullen, have settled in Naas with three kids. I often revisit the Curragh and love to show the lads where I grew up. It is hard for them to picture how the camp was once such a vibrant community, some of the house I lived in are long gone now, but O Higgins Rd still stands there proud as ever, and when I close my eyes I can still see the Tar Yard and the Swimming Pool and hear the chants of all the games that were played by the kids who were in their hundreds all around the houses
