Frank Shouldice is the author of “Grandpa The Sniper – The remarkable story of a 1916 volunteer.”
The book is described as rich, vivid and absorbing family history that tells the story of Frank Shouldice, a Dublin GAA footballer who two weeks after winning the Croke Cup, is on the rooftop of North King Street taking aim at British soldiers.
His grandson Frank draws on prison letters, personal diaries, secret military and police files to retrace his Grandpa’s journey from civil servant to one of the quiet men fighting for Irish freedom.
