As I announced yesterday (http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/irelands-revolution-will-be-digitised.html), Ireland's Military Archives website has released a third tranche of material within its Military Service Pension Collection. Amongst those noted making a claim for a pension in this release was the father of the current Irish president Michael D. Higgins.For further details on this tranche of records, see the archive's own announcement at www.militaryarchives.ie/en/collections/online-collections/military-service-pensions-collection/release-information/third-release. A document noting those included is available at www.militaryarchives.ie/fileadmin/user_upload/MSPC/documents-34/Third_release_names.pdf.
