Hi All

The following certificate was presented to 435855 Cpl. John Curran on completion of the 5th Standard NCO’s Course in McDonagh Barracks in 1949.

It is also worth noting that is signed by Comdt. John Joe O’Reilly, the famous Cavan Footballer.

Certificate sent to me by JJ Curran (Son)

Hi all
Now thats what i call history, nice to see the certifcate in such good condition and signed by an officer whom is held in such high esteem in the G A A/Army circles both for his football prowess and his Military Service all of which came to such a tragic end to one in his prime.
JJ if you do a copy i am sure that the Curragh Museum might be interisted in it.
bye for now Johnny

Hi Johnnykellly...JJ here.
The original cert Johnny is not in such great condition as it has suffered the ravages of time/dampness/sunlight etc.. I cleaned it up using photoshop. The signatures were also boosted using contrasting procedures in photoshop. I'm pleased to see that my hours watching CSI have not been wasted.
Regards
JJ
