Happy- and pleasantly surprised- to see Kenneth Griffith remembered on here.

Kenneth was an authority on Irish independence and made a documentary on Michael Collins that ATV boss Lew Grade had to suppress as he knew it would not get through the ITA- the Ofcom of the time.

He also gets a credit in the acknowledgements section of the biography of Michael Collins by distinguished Irish historian Tim Pat Coogan. Despite all his knowledge and the help of other leading Irish historians and authors, it was Griffith who had to be called in as a consultant on some of the pictures used..such was his knowledge of the most obscure participants in the 1916-1922 events.
