Comdt. Owen Quinn, photos of Teacháin a’ Watch, 1987.

Much of our information is due to the work of retired Comdt. Owen Quinn who was researching a proposed publication about the LOPs, working title “The Saygulls”. Quinn visited Portacloy on 10th June 1987 with a photographer. Two of the photographs taken are held in the Military Archives. These show the condition of LOP63 at the time and are annotated on the back.

Grianghraif an Cheannfoirt Eoin Ó Cuinn de Theachaín a’ Watch i 1987.

Is mar thoradh ar shaothar an Cheannfoirt Eoin Ó Cuinn, a bhí i mbun taighde ar fhoilseachán ar Thithe Faire an Dara Chogadh Domhanda faoin teideal oibre “The Saygulls”, a bhfuil an t-eolas seo le fáil. Thug an tUasal Ó Cuinn cuairt ar Phort a’Chlóidh ar an 10ú Meitheamh 1987 agus grianghrafadóir leis. Tá dhá ghrianghraif a tógadh le feiceáil sa gCartlann Mhíleata. Taispeánann siad an chuma a bhí ar Theachaín a’Watch 63 ag an am seo agus tá notaí scríofa ar a gcúl.
