He was employed as a Barrack Defence Officer but I have not been able to confirm This man was an ex-officer who was employed as a Defence of Barracks Sergeant in the RIC.

There is some indirect evidence he was wounded in the attack and died a week later; another source suggest he drank himself to death!
