Noel Sydney, our father was born in 1916 in Moydrum near Kinnigad. Noel was a border at St. Columba’s College in the early 1930s. Our parents divorced in the mid 1950s and he spent the next 30 years in the U.K. working with British Railways and on retirement returned to Ireland where he died in 1988. He left us a well documented photograph collection of which we include some and his father’s Indian diary which we treat in the next chapter.
