FIANNA May 1926 Mellows Commemoration Number

The Fianna was a magazine issued by Na Fianna Éireann.  After a four year lapse a copy was issued in May 1926 in an attempt to resurrect the publication. This was a 'Mellows Commemoration Number'. At this time Liam Langley was on the Central Executive of the organisation, Constance de Markievicz was the Chief Scout.  Included in this issue is an article on Page 2 by  Constance de Markievicz regarding Liam Mellows, there is also a poem dedicated to Mellows written by de Markievicz on Page 3.  Below are images of the issue, the articles and poem.
