They were soon joined in their protest by other Rangers (the protesters included at least one Englishman, John Miranda, from Liverpool)[9] declaring they would not return to duty until British forces left Ireland. Led by Private James Daly (whose brother William took part in the protest at Jalandhar), the protest spread to the Connaught Ranger company at Solon however the Connaught Ranger company at Jutogh hill-station remained loyal to the British crown. A party of men led by Daly made an attempt to recover their arms, storming the armoury. The loyal British guard successfully defended it, and two of Daly's party, Privates Patrick Smythe and Peter Sears, were killed in the firefight.<br />Within days, both garrisons were occupied by loyal British troops; Daly and his followers surrendered and were taken prisoner. Eighty-eight mutineers were court martialed: nineteen men were sentenced to death (eighteen later had their sentences commuted to life imprisonment), 59 were sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, and ten were acquitted. The 21-year-old Daly was shot by a firing squad in Dagshai Prison on 2 November 1920. He was the last member of the British Armed Forces to be executed for mutiny. Pte Sears and Pte Smyth were buried at Solan, while Daly and Miranda (who later died in prison) were buried at the Dagshai graveyard until 1970 (see below). Among those who received life in prison were Val Delaney, J.J. Buckley, and Eugene Egan all from Claremorris, Ireland.[10]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14588376.post-42708523765293321812014-05-22T21:49:09.754+00:002014-05-22T21:49:09.754+00:00Thank you for mentioning Jennifer (Bridie).

That was during the time the two Ghose brothers were being educated in London and Oxford. There's also a much older linguistic link between India and Ireland, i.e. Old Irish and Sanskrit share key words such as rĂ for "king", part of the Indo-European connection mentioned above.OR Mellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159279032426280584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14588376.post-63639925013094639332008-05-31T08:14:00.000+00:002008-05-31T08:14:00.000+00:00very intresting info ... thanksvery intresting info ... thanksstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051021968544205191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14588376.post-11901877468240416892008-05-04T03:55:00.000+00:002008-05-04T03:55:00.000+00:00Hard to believe but, I read somewhere that people ...Hard to believe but, I read somewhere that people of northern India migrated towards Europe, several thousands of years ago, populating that region. Irish may be descendents of Indians. Even now you can see similarities in some Irish names & music.<BR/>First large scale universities of the world were in India. The greatness of India started to decline about 800-1000 years ago, when Muslims started to invade it. There after British ran it down from one of the wealthiest nations to a poor one. Now Hindu majority is back in drivers seat, once again India is on the rise.
