Acknowledgements Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, in particular Marian Keyes, Senior Executive Librarian, dlr LexIcon. Marian suggested the idea of an exhibition on my great-grandfather Edward Lee, for dlr LexIcon. He would have very much approved of this jewel of knowledge in Dún Laoghaire. The library’s emphasis on education and learning for all, would have struck a chord with the ‘governor.’ It has been a great pleasure to have worked with Marian on the project. She has been a good friend and the guiding force to see it through. Terry de Valera. (A Memoir. Currach Press, 2004). Some years ago I was fortunate to meet and talk with the late Terry de Valera and he was most generous with his memories of his mother Sinéad de Valera and Annie Lee at Bellevue. Philip Lecane. (Torpedoed! The RMS Leinster Disaster. Periscope Publishing, 2005). A best ‘pal’ and the man who knows more about the Leinster tragedy than anyone. Philip was kind enough to read my early manuscript and gave me great advice which improved it no end. Stephen McCormac, Archivist, Royal Hospital, Donnybrook. With grateful thanks to Stephen, who was kind enough to trawl through the RHD archives. He filled in some missing pieces on Robert Ernest Lee. Tadhg Moloney. Another ‘pal’. Thanks Tadhg for the information on Captain Robert Ernest Lee, Royal Army Medical Corps at Hill 60, Ypres in 1915. Philip Orr. (Field of Bones. An Irish Division in Gallipoli. Lilliput Press, 2006). Historian and friend. Thanks Philip for Rev. Robert Spence’s poignant description of finding Joe Lee’s remains. Pádraig Yeates. (Lockout Dublin 1913. Gill and Macmillan, 2000, 2013). Enormous thanks to my friend Pádraig, author of quite simply the best 12 Edward Lee
ook by far on the 1913 Dublin Lockout and the man who originally put me onto my great-grandfather’s story. For this, the Lee family are most grateful. Edward Lee, my big brother and Ursula Lee, our late mother, who had the foresight to understand the importance of the family history, saved the photographs and most importantly, told us the stories. The late John Lee, who generously gave me the precious letters of his grandfather, knowing that this was a story worth telling and Ishbel Lee, who understands what I have tried to do. David Lee, who has been most helpful and Sally Dunne Lee for her support. Richard Howlett and the team at Concept2Print including Eliane Pearce and Olivia Hearne for their great design skills. Thanks also to, Karen D’Alton, Alyson Gavin, Patrick H. Lynch, Niall Martin, Peter Pearson, Michael Pegum, Eugene Ryan, Colin and Anna Scudds, Tim Carey and Nigel Curtin. With gratitude to Aaron Binchy, Librarian, Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Glenn Dunne, National Library of Ireland and Pearl Quinn, Stills Librarian, RTÉ.
