George Reynolds Ringsend, Dublin, was a native of Dublin and partner in a firm of ecclesiastical art producers. A prominent Gaelic Leaguer, he spent many vacations in the Gaeltacht. He joined the Volunteers in 1915, and was a Section Commander in charge of Clanwilliam House, dominating the entrance into Dublin. For eight hours he and seven comrades prevented the British troops from entering the city. He and two others, RichardMurphy and Patrick Doyle, were killed and their bodies incinerated in the burning of the building. The photograph shows the present Clanwilliam House. |
