As most republicans have, I have a strong sense of pride for those Volunteers and activists from my own area and areas I have connections with.
Due to this reason, I will regularly update this blog with details of the anniversaries of the deaths of Volunteers from the Ballymurphy area of West Belfast during the coming months.
FIAN SEAN DOYLE
10TH APRIL 1928 - 10TH APRIL 1944
Sean Doyle was born in Belfast in 1928. He came from a republican family, his father had been interned during the war years and his older brother Liam, aged 18 was serving a ten-year sentence for republican activity at the time of Sean’s death.
A member Fianna Eireann, Sean was attending an arms lecture with a few comrades from his Sluagh on April 10th 1944, when a gun was accidently discharged. Sean was shot in the head and died instantly. He was only 16 years of age.
Sean is buried in Milltown Cemetery, where a memorial was erected to his memory.
