- (continued from previous page)Another story told of the soldiers in Geneva Barracks is as follows: One day one of the soldiers lost his watch in a potato field in Drumrusk. At that time Kerry-men used to come to this district to dig and pick potatoes. One of the Kerry-men found the watch and showed it to the others who made a great wonder of it as watches were a rarity at this time. The man who found it called his brother who was picking potatoes in Maurice Hearne's of Drumrusk. This man had travelled a bit and was more knowledgeable than the others. He came at the call and took the watch and put it first to one ear and then to the other exclaiming "Begor that's something" while the others looked on. The he calmly put it in his pocket and walked away with it.
