Re: A wee bit of Belfast Trivia

Joe ,Just a quick reply on this VC winner, The unionist council refused to give him the freedom of the city because he was a working class catholic from the falls, a shilling fund was set up and he received £3600, which was spent rapidly.

Re: A wee bit of Belfast Trivia

Hello Joe

The young lad was Packy McAteer from Kildare Street in Carrickhill. My mother knew him and one of his sisters - Kitty.

I can never get the answers to the quizzes you set so I'm chuffed to know the answer to this one. Keep them coming!
