Many of them kept their heads down post independence, but 100 years on, it is finally being acknowledged. My mother's dad also fought for the British in Salonika, Greece, and survived, although he came down with malaria and was eventually invalided home. Ironically, he was then recruited into Michael Collins's "Squad" as a spy in Dublin Castle and wound up fighting the British himself.
