Gerard Whelan

Gerard Whelan is a native of Abbeylands, Castledermot. This is his first book and he considers himself an accidental author. By chance, he came upon a document on local Great War soldiers with the same names as his twin sons, James and William Whelan, and that piqued his interest. When he delved deeper, he discovered that these very ordinary men and women from the district possessed stories that had to be told and must be remembered.
