This week we return to the 1940s, and a handing over of the flag to the newly formed company of Skibbereen Local Defence Forces. Saluting the flag is Asst Co Leader of the new LDF, and well known solicitor, Redmond O’Regan, whose son Reddy sent in the photo. The ceremony took place in the Fair Field – now site of the Saturday farmers’ market in Skibb.
