He was born in 1888 in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. Before he was born his family had been evicted from their farm. When my father was 20, he went to Dublin to work in a draper's shop. He joined the army there along with his three brothers, Michael, Maurice and Billy. Amazingly, they all survived the war. David didn't even suffer an injury although he had a lucky escape when a sniper shot a much taller companion in the head as he stood beside him in the trench. The companion's name was Colonel Kane. Other than this story he never liked to talk about the war very much. He was mentioned in a despatch by Field Marshal Haig for his gallant and distinguished service in the field. He hated going to funerals as he had seen the finest of young men laid in the ground with a mere hurried few words and none of the pomp and ceremony some funerals had. He joined the army in 1915 and was recalled from the front in 1917. He was commissioned after a course at the Officers Training College in Bristol. He became a steward of Borrmount Manor, Co. Wexford for Loftus Bryan after the war and then bought a farm in the locality. || || Photograph || Condon brothers || Remembrance || Four brothers in uniform: David, Billy, Michael and Maurice Condon || || David Condon, Royal Munster Fusiliers || Remembrance || David Condon || Photograph || || Button Royal Munster Fusiliers || Munster Fusiliers button from David Condon's coat || Memorabilia || || General Absolution at Rue du Bois || Drawing || The Last General Absolution of the Munsters at Rue-du-Bois, a print by F.

article diary || Edmund Mahony was my uncle. He was killed in France in 1918. He joined the Royal Munster Fusiliers at the age of 30. He worked in the family grain company before joining the army. There was an article about him in the Obelisk Journal of Kilmacud Local History Society. Iza Mahony was a volunteer nurse. I brought her diary from 1915-16 that she wrote in Malta. She worked on hospital ships and died in 1919 in Ireland. || || Letter || Account of the death of my uncle, Edmund Mahony, Royal Munster Fusiliers || || Diary || Malta || Diary of Iza Mahony, volunteer nurse in Malta
