Frank Sherwin (1905–1981) was an Irish independent politician who sat for eight years as Teachta Dála (TD) for Dublin North–Central, from 1957 to 1965.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mr. Frank Sherwin )〕 ==Early life== Sherwin was born in Upper Dorset Street, in inner-city Dublin in 1905, son of a carter. He left school at 14 and became an apprentive harness-maker. At ten years old, he witnessed intense fighting on North King Street near his home during the Easter Rising of 1916.〔Frank Sherwin, Independent and Unrepentant, p5–11.〕 As a teenager, Sherwin joined the Fianna Éireann (youth wing of the Irish Republican Army) and participated in the Irish War of Independence. Subsequently, aged 17, he joined the National Army. However, he deserted the army after the attack on the Four Courts that marked the start of the Irish Civil War and re-joined the Fianna as a guerrilla fighter against the Free State. He was captured after an attack on Wellington Barracks in November 1922 and badly beaten in custody. He eventually suffered a stroke as result and lost the use of his right arm. He was interned at the Curragh Camp and released in 1924〔Frank Sherwin, Independent and Unrepentant, p16–28.〕 He afterwards ran a dance hall and became chairman of the Fianna. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Sherwin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
