This whole sage is a terrible, terrible tragedy. How did it happen? Why did it happen? Why do such inhumane things happen? I don't really know. All I DO know for certain, that these horrors are not natural. I guess violence breeds violence.

Ps: Your photos are excellent, and with any luck, they'll stir up some latent, forgotten emotions in certain people, should they happen to come across this website.

The views arund the Bridge are ones we would all have been familiar with as we were marched up and down that road - also most of us who ansconded went over the Bridge and into the forests and hills beyond.

The Boys Graves I only came across in 2004 - and it really shocked me. Two of my friends died in Feryhouse yet we never got to see them buried - I always presumed that there was a Graveyard situated somewhere in Ferryhouse itself but in fact the boys are buried in a public graveyard (two of the graves are in isolated parts of the graveyard) only one mile from Clonmel town.

It's sad though that Ferryhouse still holds them in these graves - why were these children not returned to their families and communities?
