I'm interested in this headline "he flung them his belt" that accompanied a piece about the death of my Grandfather(Felix McCabe) in 1955.It was in the Cavan newspaper.The part about his belt referred to his resignation from the RIC.And was just wondering if this had been an organised event or if it referred to a series of resignations.
He died in Glasgow in 1955.I have his very brief service record that states he joined the RIC in April 1913 and was allocated to Co Offaly,recommended by a DI Heggart.
He resigned on the 19th July 1918 as he "required at home and insufficient pay"
