Jump To Comment: 1 2 3in your article you rightly state the francie once said 'victory to the provos!'.
in fact these were his final words as he left the wing on his way to the hospital in long kesh. his comrades were locked in their cells and as he left the wing he said a few worlds of good bye to his comrades and stated defiantly 'Victory to the provos'
Friday 12 May also marks the day when James Connolly was exacuted 90 Years ago for gallantly leading the IRA in the Easter Rising 1916.
While Ógra are remembering Francis Hughes they should also remember this fine Irish Revolutionary!
James and Francis abu!
