Description
An Irish 1916 Rising Medal awarded to Michael Knightly, “F” Company, 1st Battalion, Dublin Brigade, Irish Volunteers.
The reverse has contemporary, unofficially engraved naming ‘M KNIGHTLY F. Co. 1st. BATT.
His name has been erased and re-engraved (probably to correct a spelling mistake). The medal has a replacement top suspender.
Comes with a copy of Michael Knightly’s 17 page Bureau of Military History “Statement by Witness” (see photos).
Knightly saw service in the GPO with “F” Company, 1st Battalion, Dublin Brigade in 1916. During the period 1919-1920 he was employed as an Intelligence Officer by the I.R.A. and worked closely with Michael Collins, Rory O’Connor and Arthur Griffith, among others. At the time, he was employed in civil life as a reporter by the Irish Independent newspaper. This allowed him to move freely about the country and provided him with cover as he set about gathering intelligence for the I.R.A.
