Plot Q. I. E/ 23.
Son of Catherine Foley, of 21, St. Patrick's Cottages, Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin.
Michael was obviously very ill judging by this photo as he looks unwell and is surrounded by Medical personnel. This building in background is probably the Hospital and we wonder if the statue with orator and admirer helps you to let me know precise location.We understand that a Spanish influenza was rampant at the time and claimed his life finally. He is mentioned by name in a play about Francis Ledwidge by Irish writer Dermot Bolger "Walking the road" By a strange co-incidence Ledwidge himself,as a youth was a shop boy in Michael's ''home district of Rathfarnham,South Co.Dublin.
