| Description: | Typescript letter headed "For Fr. Liam Martin" and annotated in pencil "Statement by Fr. John Piggott Army Chaplain 1922-1929". Fr. Piggott gave spiritual aid to Rory O'Connor and Liam Mellows and he describes in detail the final hours leading up to the executions. He aims to dispel what he describes as propaganda surrounding the help the men were given in their last hours, and whether they got the last rites. |
