Carlow Events ~ 1920

The Nationalist, 31st January, 1920.

Letter to the Editor.

Browne's Hill, Carlow.

27th January, 1920.

Sir---I see by your last week's issue that I was shown as elected as a Unionist member of the Carlow Urban District Council.
I beg to point out that I stood as representative of the Comrades of the Great War, an organisation, which is strictly non-political. ----
Yours faithfully,
Robert Browne-Clayton, Browne's Hill House.

The Nationalist, 7th Feb. 1920.

"Carlow Unionism in the Quicksands"

Letter to the Editor.

Sir----In your issue of last week Lieutenant Colonel Browne-Clayton repudiated the publication of his name as a Unionist in connection with the recent Carlow Urban Elections. He says he stands as a "representative of the Comrades of the Great War" and for the life of me I cannot understand why such an association can be interested in local municipal life. Why did not the gallant Colonel issue an election address stating what he was proposing to represent.

Is County Carlow Unionism in the Quicksands ?---
Yours truly,
UNIONIST.

Nationalist. August 1920.

FFRENCH ---In sad and loving memory of Gunner John Ffrench R.F.A., Castle Hill, Carlow, killed in action in France, August 22nd, 1917.

Day by day we sadly miss him,
Words would fail our loss to tell,
But in heaven we hope to meet him,
Whom on earth we loved so well.
Inserted by his loving mother, brothers and sisters.
