.In March 1943, Fusilier Timothy Kenneally, from Bishopstown, and Private Patrick Fitzgerald, from Kilmeadon, broke out of their work camp, along with Sergeant Francis Joseph Kelly, and Sergeant Edward Reay from England.

Around two weeks later they were recaptured after being betrayed by Thais supposedly guiding them. The four soldiers were taken back to their POW camp, interrogated, tortured, and then taken away to be executed. Witnesses later saw the men being led away from camp by three Japanese officers and thirty-two Korean guards.

No one, except the executioners, witnessed the actual moment of death. Japanese documentation claims that the four men were shot whilst trying to escape. A more compelling account was given by another POW, Sergeant Priestman, who was one of a work detail sent from the main camp about an hour after the execution.

Sergeant Priestman did not use the words crucifixion when he later gave evidence for a post-war war crimes tribunal. But perhaps his description speaks for itself.

“In the undergrowth nearby we found three bamboo crosses, about seven feet by four feet. We also saw another bamboo cross jutting out of the ground. We uncovered it and found the dead body of a British soldier, tied to the cross with his arms outstretched.

Foley, Mary,  aged 71, 28th May 1921, Civilian casualty, shot dead.

Another death would follow two months later, that of 80 years old Mary Foley, in Carriglea, on May 25. A Crossley Tender full of Black and Tans saw a figure in the bushes near the road and called for them to come out or they would shoot. She was collecting firewood and was deaf, and thus unaware of their presence. On edge after the ambush in Burgery, they opened fire, killing her.

Many thanks to Frank Murphy, Waterford for copy of death certificate.
